is there a “irrational fear of even thinking about swiming along large sea creatures”?
I’m not that afraid about whales or sharks per se, I can watch pictures or videos as long they’re taken from distance… the other day I stumbled on the web upon a “life sized” whale flash animation that started with the eye of it, and barely remembering it sends a shiver through my spine…
Also, I love your blog. Greetings 🙂

Well, since I was born on Friday 13th, Ive always felt like it was a lucky day for me and this Friday the 13th proved it – my beautiful granddaughter was born on it!

Wrote about it myself – people should probably be more aware of ‘tetraphobia’, which has significant consumer-driven implications…
