Happy New Year

Best wishes to everyone for a happy and prosperous New Year. A St. Louis tradition has been for a group of water skiers to take to the Mississippi River at the downtown riverfront on New Year's Day. With temperatures hovering in the teens a hearty group turned out for this afternoon's festivities. I only stayed long enough for four or five skiiers to take their turns because it was just too darned cold. A working reporter would've taken names for this picture but since I wasn't a working reporter I don't know the name of the dog or its human. Surprisingly the dog came out of the water and shook itself off and seemed no worse for the wear.
