Swimming in the sea is no joke. The sharks in the sea have rows of teeth that have been waiting since the Devonian (when Ohio was under ocean) to be caught in your flesh. The land is your reprieve from abysmal terror. Land comforts until you forget the terror rising from the deep. A global rise of a degree or two separates your coastal cities from dentricle skin of sharks and a time when seven generations of your children will curse you for your mindless spewing of smoke and heat and dream of nothing but land, land, land.
