I went out to Alcatraz, and I lived on the island for several weeks.

And I notice other parents were watching too, and I swear they were thinking the same thing I was this is why you don't let nine year olds swim from Alcatraz.

Think how you would have approached your world differently if at nine years old you found out you could swim a mile and a half in 56 degree water from Alcatraz to San Francisco.

I heard about a group of Native Americans who had taken over Alcatraz Island, and a Native American who wanted to give birth on that island, and no other doctor wanted to go and help her give birth.
