Dear Diary, On December 21, 2025, there was a fatal shark attack just off Lovers Point in Pacific Grove, CA. Pacific Grove is the next town over from Todd and me and our West Coast life, and Lovers Point is where we go to sit quietly on a bench and stare peacefully at the sea. Todd still won’t stop talking about the shark attack, even when I ask him not to. To say he’s obsessed would be putting it mildly. True Confessions by Bill Mullen.

A ground squirrel in PG. Up close, he is trying to get some food from me. Sitting on the rocks with cute little claws on it's feet. Multi-colored brownish fur and black eyes and nose.
