“Polar Bear Plunge.”

That has become a tradition here. They jump in the freezing cold Columbia River to raise money for the Special Olympics. I think raising money for the Special Olympics is GREAT but to jump into the freezing river borders on being nuts. IMO

Banging a loaf of bread against the wall? I don’t think I would want to eat a loaf of bread that is HARD enough to bang on a wall.

In Ohio it was downtown Cleveland at the Lake Erie peer at 9th street. I did it once when I was 48. Chilly Brrrr - once was enough

That would literally kill me. I stepped into a creek in March, totally forgetting about my CAD. That one act caused me to hemolyze and I had to undergo a month of infusions. Ugh! Of course, I wrote in more detail about this.
