if a shark eats you at Beacons will you get a ticket for feeding the wildlife?

It depends. If you're Jerome it would be considering poisoning.

Dave was one of the most wonderful veterinarians I ever had the privilege of knowing. Before becoming a psychologist, I sold veterinary pharmaceuticals. Dave was aways geeted me with a smile on his face, even when he was extremely busy. I never felt like I was "just a salesperson." He had that way about him. After I left sales, he and I remained friends. I would see him in the water on occasion. I will miss him terribly, and I want to expres my condolences to his family, friends and the veterinary community as a whole. He will be missed by all who knew him

About Leucadia

Leucadia is a funky little beach community located in North San Diego county in southern California. Leucadia is the north section of the city of Encinitas.

English spiritualists settled the small coastal community of Leucadia in 1870, and are reputed to have danced, in diaphanous white robes in the little Roadside Park (Leucadia Blvd and Hwy 101).

The spiritualists are the reason so many of the streets are named after Greek gods and goddesses. Leucadia is Greek for "a sheltered place." Heritage Eucalyptus trees, planted in the 1880s, still grace the highway. When President Roosevelt passed through Leucadia in an open car during the Depression, local children climbed the Eucalyptus trees to wave to him.

Change happens slowly in this nostalgic little California beach town. In lieu of fast food restaurants and franchise chain stores, Leucadia has two miles of Mom 'n Pop businesses, and that's the way everyone likes it. The town war cry is "Keep Leucadia Funky."

Leucadia played an active role in the rebirth of the classic Highway 101 shield, restored in 1997, and was part of the successful 101 Campaign to have Highway 101 declared an historic route.

Leucadia is experiencing growing pains and culture clash in these first decades of the 21st century...
