Good morning, Whitewater It’s predicted to be a beautiful day in Whitewater. The National Weather Service says sixty-nine degrees and breezy. Good enough. Farmers’ Almanac predicts a spell of pleasant weather. They’re either both wrong, or both right. As we approach summer, each day has been about two or three minutes longer than the preceding…

Good morning, Whitewater It’s April 15th, tax day in Whitewater, and for three hundred million Americans. No one needed to be reminded, but it’s worth noting that we are a highly-taxed state. Wisconsin has been that way for years, and it has taken a toll on us. The sad (and sad because avoidable) details are…

Good morning, Whitewater The National Weather Service says that today will be sunny, with a high of 52 degrees. The Farmers’ Almanac predicts “squally over the Great Lakes.” No word on how squally translates to Whitewater’s small lakes. Here’s the symbol of the National Weather Service. They’ve chosen a stormy image, with thunderclouds and a…

Good morning, Whitewater Rain. That’s the forecast from the National Weather Service; it’s also what I see out my window. Over at the Farmers’ Almanac, the forecast is usually the same for a few days in a row — and it has been off for these last few days. NWS prediction for today: 70% chance…

Good morning, Whitewater There are no public meetings scheduled for the City of Whitewater today. In the school district, however, there will be a 7 PM musical performance from middle school students held at the high school. The Farmers’ Almanac prediction, as it is usually a several days’ prediction, again looks to pleasant conditions; the…

Good morning, Wisconsin In public meetings in the city today, the Community Housing Task Force meets at 3:30 p.m. at the municipal building. In our school district, the Athletic Booster Club will meet at 7 p.m. in the high school. Since I have been posting the Daily Bread, the National Weather Service (and its vast…

Good morning, Whitewater One-hundred three years ago today, Wisconsin held its first basketball tournament. In 1905, Fond du Lac High School won the Lawrence College Invitational. It was more than a first for Wisconsin — it was the first tournament of its kind in all America. There are no municipal public meetings scheduled in the…

Good morning, Whitewater There are three public meetings in Whitewater today. Two involve planning. At 5:30 p.m. today, there will be a meeting with the city planner, Ryan Garcia, to discuss alternatives for first floor residential use in our downtown area. That meeting will take place in the Municipal Building’s community room. Later, at 7…

Good morning, Whitewater The week ends with a National Weather Service prediction of a high of 51 degrees, and partly sunny skies for today. That’s about the same as the Farmers’ Almanac prediction. Sometimes the journey counts as much as the destination, though, and it was a less-than-favorable route to this better weather. If that…

Good morning, Whitewater Tonight at 6:30 p.m. there will be a session of our Common Council. (Sessions are normally on Tuesdays, but our elections this week led to a shift in date.) The agenda is available on the City of Whitewater website. There’s also a new calendar feature on the City website, and it includes…

Good morning, Whitewater It’s the second day of the month, and the day after elections here in Wisconsin. I will post an assessment recap of local races this evening. For the most part, incumbents prevailed, but there were some prevailing challengers both locally and statewide. The National Weather Service predicts today will be mostly sunny,…

Good morning, Whitewater It’s April 1st, traditionally a day of pranks and jokes. I’d had thought of going that route myself with a post, but I’ll refrain from that course. The forecast is for a chance of rain or snow, with a high of 39 degrees. That’s joke enough. The calendar says spring, but the…

Good morning, Whitewater School and campus are back in session. It was pleasant to see so many students back yesterday. Our city is better when they’re here. The Park & Rec Board meets at 5 p.m. today. The agenda is on the city website, and they’ll meet in the Cravath Lakefront room, on the second…

Good morning, Whitewater The week ends with a National Weather Service forecast of sunny skies and a high of thirty-nine degrees. That’s where the Farmers’ Almanac predicted that we’d be. The NWS has a budget approaching a billion dollars; the Farmers’ Almanac has, undoubtedly, far less. Still, the NWS offers a website with super-cool satellite…
