Beach

Summer is on the way and for many of us it is a reminder that we still have some of our winter padding. For me, that is the hardest thing to get rid of and makes me self conscious when I go swimming and my belly hangs over the shorts a bit. When do you feel most self conscious about your body?

A shark attacked a teenager Monday afternoon as he swam in waist-deep water at Surfside Beach, along Texas's Gulf coast, local police said.

So a guy wrestled a shark off of a crowded beach and you think that would be very nice gesture. Well the hero's boss was not happy about it.

I've certainly never seen one of these, and I just got back from the beach last week.  So, I do wonder if this is one of those made-up trends, but, according to some media outlets, the biggest fashion hit at the beaches and pools this year is mermaid tails!
