Good morning, Whitewater The National Weather Service predicts a thirty percent chance of rain, with a high of 75 degrees. The Farmers’ Almanac says that “stormy conditions will spread from the west.” Conditions in Wisconsin can be stormy this time of year, and the Wisconsin State Journal has a story entitled, “The Storm’s the Thing…

Good Morning, Whitewater The National Weather Service forecast is for a high of 71 degrees, and patchy fog. The Farmers’ Almanac predicts blustery showers. Once again, there are no public meetings listed for the City of Whitewater today. Civil society rolls along, unaffected. In our school district, it’s spring picture day at Lincoln School, home…

Good morning, Whitewater It’s Earth Day, today. I’ll post later today about the environmental holiday. In Whitewater, there are no public meetings scheduled for today. Affecting our school district, there’s an announcement up on the Holmen School District website about its search for a new district administrator. Our administrator, Leslie Steinhaus, is a candidate for…

Good Morning, Whitewater I’ll lead off this morning with the birthday, in 1838, of conservationist John Muir. Muir was born in Scotland, but came to Wisconsin in 1849. Muir’s work on behalf of conservation and environmental concerns included the founding of the Sierra Club. About two years ago, I read his nature writings, collected in…

Good morning, Whitewater I’ll run Register Watch™ tonight, and include references to other blogs that review or comment on specific publications. There are no public meetings scheduled today in Whitewater. Private life goes on unimpeded. (There is the libertarian take of the day.) The archway near Cravath Lake will be dedicated this weekend, at 2…

Good morning, Whitewater A boiler explosion on campus yesterday resulted in minor injuries for a worker performing routine maintenance. It’s fortunate that there were no other injuries. The Gazette has a update on the accident. It’s supposed to be rainy today, less like early summer, and more like Wisconsin in April. At least, that’s the…

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.

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…
