BEING BITTEN IN THE ANKLE BY A
ROUGHLY 10 FOOT SHARK. BUT
LIFEGUARDS SAY IT WASN'T
ACTUALLY AN ATTACK. HE SAID
THAT HE WAS EITHER BUMPED BY OR
KICKED THE SHARK. SO IT'S
REALLY MORE OF A IT'S LESS OF A
BITE AND MORE OF A BUMPING OF
THE SHARK. WHATEVER IT WAS, IT
CAUSED QUITE A SCARE. THE BEACH
WAS TEMPORARILY CLOSED AS A
PRECAUTION. THE MAN WAS
TRANSPORTED TO SCRIPPS MEMORIAL
HOSPITAL. ANITA'S WITH MINOR

THEY DID IN TERMS OF WHAT THEY
SPENT ON THE KONA VIRUS AND
WHAT THEIR REVENUE LOSS IS. I
DON'T KNOW THAT WE SHOULD BE

BEEN SUFFERING FOR THROUGH BAD
LEADERSHIP OR BAD MANAGEMENT
