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, it 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!

Lol, Greg went down to the polar bear plunge in Milwaukee to photograph the festivities. Must have been 14 or so! Too cold for me. Happy New Year!
Yeah, much too cold. Actually, even the Bakersfield toe-dipping was too cold for me. I head for the pool at 100+. Sigh, July is so far off. And Happy New Year back at you!
Oh, much too cold. Actually, the Bakersfield toe-dipping is too cold for me. I don't plunge until the temp hits 100+. Sigh, July is just too far away. Meanwhile, a Happy New Year back at you!
