Hey Phat - for an ignorant west coast guy who’s following this, what are sharks teeth?

[phatdaddy]

Venice beach is know for finding fossilized sharks teeth in the sand. When I lived in Tampa, we would go down on the weekend, walk the beach and pick them up. Not unusual to fill a Pringle can in an afternoon. Most were small, .25-.75 inch long. Read some where they think there was an ancient riverbed there once.

The gulf is very shallow down there, 25 ft deep 20 miles out, so I figured the surge and swell will disturb a lot of previously undesturbed sand.

Thanks for the lesson. Things are sure different in different parts of the country.

I’d really like to visit down there sometime when it’s not too hot and humid.

That will certainly limit your window of opportunity to visit, but come on down. I m in north Florida, so we actually have four seasons. Nice, Hot, Nice, Cold

I hope we have an opportunity to do some extended travel at some point before I’m so old that I’m drooling down my shirt. If we do, I’ll be seeking advice from trusted sources like you. Thanks

Finally heard from my cousin in Venice who just got cell service restored. No electricity but no damage to her home. Amazing. And what's more, of all my personal friends and relatives (10 households in all and 4 of them on the west coast) in Florida, only 1 had serious damage and that was to a modular home in Lake Wales that had the roof partially pulled back. I know that's not typical and that a lot of folks lost a lot and had a great deal of damage. My heart goes out to them.

Great news PD. Glad they faired well. Now the fun begins, hope it is not a hard tango with the insurance companies.
