I always thought the Polar Bear "run, jump, swim" stuff was kinda cool. (No pun intended) A couple of different charities have done them around here for years. Chop a hole in the ice and put on silly costumes. But lately, it's kind of dumb. Groups are doing the polar bear thing in Oct. and Nov. Heck, the Law enforcement group did theirs a few days before Thanksgiving when the temp. was 62 degrees. People are just weenies nowadays and everybody wants to do the easy and get credit for it. I'm just sayin that it's kind of silly to brag about doing a "polar bear" thing in barely cool water.
