It was definitely do your own thing on New Year's Day at the riverfront. Nice young ladies could join the geezers and go for an icy ride. Or, if you preferred, you could don a Santa suit and declaim for the TV cameras.
There is something strange going on in the bottom picture, though. Maybe it's just selling raffle tickets. Maybe it has something to do with opinions about this weekend's NFL playoffs, backed by negotiable currency. I'm just sayin'.
The third picture gives some idea how low the Mississippi is. The water level has fallen to the rubble far below the bottom of the levee. Barge traffic will be forced to stop if it gets any lower and that will have a real economic impact.

That doesn't look much like the 'spirit' of the season. hahaha
What you need along the entire basin of the Mississippi and Missouri is a snowy winter. Hopefully you get it.
And it's definitely a study in contrasts today! Good shots!
I like the Ta-da photo.
I crossed the Mississippi Thursday and it was low. Crossed the Ohio on Friday and it looked ok.
I am very worried about the low water levels on the Mississippi.
BTW, yes, we ARE slipping into geezerdom.
Looks like they were having great fun Bob, but the water level does look scary low!!
The last time I had a "ta-da" moment coming into shore while water skiing I did a header when my skag caught in the goopy sand!!! (I was just about her age then, too!)
