Okay - ya gotta watch this video.

It's an old buddy of mine, alla way back to high school. Preston Sights. Or, more aptly, Prestone Antifreeze.

He did the Polar Bear Plunge for Special Olympics in Missouri. In the video, he's the shirtless, odd-colored furry fella. The odd color is from his disguise. He went as The Hulk - which the Special Olympians thought was simply way cool.

You can read about the event here.

If you're moved to, you can donate, ex post facto, by clicking the link below. Hey - you *know* you got your money's worth, you've already seen him do it, right?

Heh. I should have put this up *before* the event, but I dunno, it just never occurred to me to do so. Prolly because Preston is normally such a private person.

Right click and "save as" here to see the video of the event.

Click here if you're moved to donate. Hey, $5, $500, it's all good. It would tickle me pink (which is a scary thought) if collectively we could bump "Prestone's" numbers to the $2K mark. As I write - only $999 to go - you can probably guess which donor I am. Tax deductible - start sheltering your money from the grasping fingers of Congress now.. well, at least spend it on projects *you'd* like to see it spent on, vice other people's pet projects they want Congress to bill you for.

Doesn't really look very Hulk-like, except for his facial expression. There are only small patches of pale greenness on him. Maybe send some money to Autistics.org? They run on a shoestring, and pretty much hand-to-mouth. There aren't many Downies (trisomy 21) anymore thanks to the prenatal tests and pre-emptive abortions.
