The Bipolar Plunge

Dismayed by the $16 increase in her annual RA assessment, this Reston resident attempted to end it all by jumping into the icy grave that is Lake Anne, only to be saved by one of the many covert ex-Navy Seal frogmen the DRB hires to keep tabs on the weatherstripping of Reston's awesome floating docks. This bizarre annual ritual raised nearly $17,000 for Camp Sunshine, which is sort of ironic when you think about jumping into an icy, algae-infested pond, the end.
