Taking the New Year’s Plunge.



Jumping into freezing cold water is not all that fun, it kinda hurts actually, but every year I muster up the courage to freeze off the ol’ cojones.

The Polar Plunge has become a tradition for hundreds of people on New Year’s Day at the Boulder Reservoir…and the registration money goes to a good cause, the Alzheimer’s Association

What better way to shock the hangover out of your system? Don’t forget your Speedo!

    In 2010 I was struggling. The universe had become twisted and incomprehensible. I could not understand why Elephant readers from Boulder were actually listening to Jon Stewart and to President Obama. Not to mention falling hook, line, and sinker for the propaganda of George "Spooky Evil Dude" Soros. It all made no sense. It defied human and cosmic logic.

    Then I watched this video and everything became crystal clear.

    Liberals don't even know who George Soros is. He is just the Fox News boogeyman.

    Also, no way in hell I am taking that plunge!
