July is the best month of the year. It’s warm everywhere, even in Chicago. I look forward to the al fresco dining, outdoor concerts, neighborhood block parties, cookouts with family, and the beach. And sharks. July seems to be synonymous with this apex predator. Whether it is because the movie Jaws took place over the Fourth of July or it’s when Discovery Channel’s Shark Week battle for ratings with National Geographic Channel’s Sharkfest) or that the Sharknado series always premiered their newest sequel, sharks seem to be everywhere. In fact, this year, sharks off the coast of Brazil tested positive for cocaine.
