Happy new year to all Orcas Island citizens. And what better way to bring in the New Year than to attend the Polar Bear Plunge at Cascade Lake on Jan. 1?
Of all of the attendees, only the quadripeds kept their fur on, while the biped counterparts were nearly naked, and judging from their goose bumps they were struggling to keep themselves from freezing. Such unusual behavior.
Nonetheless, there was much community spirit, and energy and worthy of praise from this mayor. So I extend to all community members, and on behalf of Children’s House, a wonderful and healthy new year to all.
