'Twas the week before Christmas, when all through the store
Every manager was busy getting ready for the opening of the door.
The merchandise was hung on the walls with care, Awaiting the shoppers that would soon be there.
The employees were all working to straighten the racks
And making sure the counters were full of paper sacks.
Pam with her smile and Bill with his "Good Morning" greeting
Had just arrived for the weekly manager's meeting.
When up on the roof there arose such a clatter,
Making everyone jump wondering what was the matter.
Away to the entrance everyone went in a flash,
It looked like a 50 yard dash.
The sun was shining brightly in the cold winter sky,
Causing everyone to squint their curious eyes.
When what to our wondering eyes should be there,
But a cute giant white polar bear.
He was larger than life, and looking over all of us,
He could be seen for miles by every car, truck and bus.
We were all amazed and in wonder by this sight,
This is H-D of Annapolis, did he have the address right?
He shouted and called everyone by name:
There's Pam and Kristina and Maria too,
along with Sharon, Danny and Marshall just to name a few.
The time is once again on the way,
To plunge the icy waters of the Chesapeake Bay.
The Maryland State Police Polar Bear Plunge is approaching fast,
And they need everyone to Sandy Point Park so don't be the last.
To your sponsor sheets one and all,
Raise lots of money for the Special Olympics of Maryland good cause,
Bring your swimsuits, towels and beach balls,
on Saturday, January 30, 2010 jump in without any pause.

This Bike Is Set Up Well. It Has A King/Queen Seat And Vance& Hines Pipes!!
In the saddle of a Harley-Davidson® Softail®, no road is ever lonely. Sunlight breaks through treetops to dance on chromed steel. The wind offers its constant stream of praise. And the world unfolds before you with open arms. Maybe it’s because nothing else on the road compares with the timeless hardtail styling ... and nothing else feels like a Twin Cam 88B™ power mill rigid-mounted to the frame. Counterbalancing takes care of all but the good vibrations. You and the motorcycle become one, united by an unbreakable bond. Then you feel the hidden rear suspension smooth out the ride with a full 4" of travel. There’s no denying you’re in the saddle of a rolling masterpiece. This year, the Softail family of custom motorcycles welcomes its latest member. We invite you to turn the page and take a gander at the clean lines of the new Heritage Softail®. Additionally, all new bobtail models get a shot of adrenaline in the hindquarters — a brawny, road-hugging 200mm tire under a new wider fender. More rubber to stick to the pavement. More style to keep the eyes glued.
Sometimes the best trip you can take is one back to the basics. The Softail® Standard is just the bike for the job. Beautiful as seen here or decked out in Genuine Motor Parts and Accessories. The simple, classic lines begin with a raked fork. Head back to the horseshoe oil tank and the unmistakable shape of a wide bobtail fender. Once there, check out the brawny 200mm rear tire — a custom touch new for this year. It feels great teamed with the taut hidden suspension. Fire up the dual-counterbalanced, silver powder-coated Twin Cam 88B™, in carb or EFI, and your primal urge to blow out of town is about to be satisfied. Just gas up and go. Nothing is more basic than that.
