Weather conditions being what they are, it's tempting to think a cold shower is a good idea.

But then you actually get under the water and something happens.

You remember why you have never done the Polar Bear Plunge over in Coeur d'Alene.

Oh, sure. A lot of us can take a cool shower. And that still feels great if you have been outside in blazing heat.

But a truly cold shower? That takes something special.

Remember when, during an extended citywide power outage years ago, Mayor Jack Geraghty referred to taking a "Viking shower"?

Well, I wonder how many Vikings walk among us this week.
