Bernie Fowler's Sneaker Index

"Begun in 1988, the annual wade has attracted governors, congressmen, hundreds of people and at least one EPA administrator. The wade results in the 'sneaker index,' an annual measurement from Bernie’s old white high-tops to the high-water mark on his blue overalls. The index reached a shin-high low point in 1989 at eight inches and a waist-high peak in 1997, at forty-four and one-half inches. In 2002, forty-two and three-quarters inches of Bernie—and everyone else—got soaked. The goal is fifty-seven inches."
