Bears Invade Coney Island

Yesterday hundreds of members of the Coney Island Polar Bear Club made their annual dip in the 42 degree surf. Over $30,000 in pledges was raised for Camp Sunshine, a camp for seriously ill children and their families in Casco, Maine.

And then all the bears went to beer bust.

I've always wanted to do the dip, but somehow I've never been in the mood to jump in the ocean at dawn on New Year's Day. Odd, that.
