Embarrassingly enough, the City of Bakersfield CA, sponsors a Polar Bear event on News Years Day. Yes, ever so brave hungover citizens of this desert community line up for the opportunity to jump or slide into a city pool. Brace yourselves denizens of the Mid-West, for the mid-day temperature this year was 67 degrees! Oh, my, brrrrrr... Granted the low temp for the day was 44 degrees so I can imagine the water was refreshing, but ... Let's see, it got up to 35 in Indianapolis, IN ... above freezing at least. And in Milwaukee, poor Milwaukee, topped out at 16 degrees!!! Ouch.
The Aussies know how to throw a party. Another spectacular fireworks display presented in Sydney. Nifty.
My computer problem(s) has finally been resolved, and I will return to my regularly scheduled programming next Tuesday ... or I certainly hope so!
