John told us that we needed to have an event every year that was like a polar bear plunge. He came from up north and he told us 14 years ago. Yeah, this is a warb year. This is nice. So John made that sign and that's why we keep the same sign and we just change the 14th, 13th. So it's the same sign year after year. A lot of the same people have been new people too. Oh yeah, it's a hundred and last year. Yeah. January 1st, 2012 here at the headwaters of the San Marcos River, Texas State University. Here is another San Marcos tradition that as we've heard, it's gotten larger over the last 14 years. Lots of people coming out. Oh, it's probably about 50, 55 degrees, although the wind is blowing at about 20 miles an hour right now and we've got a few people shivering and shaking when that wind gets going. But the water here is a nice constant 72, 75 degrees. I think he was saying maybe the water temperature is about 65 there a few minutes ago, but it's still warmer than it is above. So as we wait for everybody to take the big plunge into 2012, Robbrok smtx.tv. And the limo is coming in, paparazzi, right? This is the kids plunge. This is the first bunch of folks who jump in the river and I'm downstream for the adults take the plunge. Here. That's water Diane. That's water Diane. Oh, oh. Is this first year you all done this? No, yeah. That's your first year? Yeah. And how many years you've done it? Three. Three years. And what do you think for doing this your first time? It was the best thing to do on your day. What a way to start off 2012, huh? Yeah. I do much better after. Now are you getting to do another run? Today? Yeah. I think I'll hold on to you. One's enough. Happy New Year.
