Good evening. I mentioned that today was the grand opening of a new Walmart for Whitewater, larger than previously and with a proper grocery section.  A Walmart here or there isn’t a big deal; what Walmart does each day, in so many stores, is a big deal. Thousands of items, in thousands of stores, stocked…

Good evening. A new month begins, and off to a pretty good start, I’d say: pleasant weather for Whitewater, with rain only in the evening. We’re only part way through a statewide recount, and one cannot count how many time’s one’s heard questions about ‘whether it’s worth the cost’ or what a burden it is…

Good evening, It’s a clear night tonight in Whitewater, with a full moon, and a low of fifty-eight degrees. I spend a fair amount of time online, and I visit websites from left, center, and right. There’s nothing I enjoy more than a new find. Happily, I came across one recently, that I’d like to…

From Fox, here’s a video of a bison attacking a tourist at Yellowstone Park: I first found a shorter version of the video at the Huffington Post, and that website described the attack as a ‘summer bummer.’ Oh no — it’s a gift of amazing bragging rights. The tourist apparently survived with only bruises after…

Good evening, The forecast for my small town calls for an overnight low of sixty-seven degrees, and a slight chance of thunderstorms. I’ve been following the Tour de France, but today was a rest day, so there was no new cycling to watch this morning. It’s Stage 17 tomorrow morning, and Andy Schelck Talks Tough…

Good evening, Tonight’s forecast calls for a night of patchy fog, with a low overnight temperature of sixty-eight. Stage Sixteen of the Tour de France is over, and in that stage Contador and Schleck declared a temporary truce, and Armstrong couldn’t find the stage win for which he was hoping. Meanwhile, there’s no relief from…

Good evening, The day ends with patchy fog and an overnight low of sixty-seven degrees. Hours earlier, and thousands of miles east, the day began with a surprise for Andy Schleck: Alberto Contador didn’t wait for yellow-jersey wearing Schleck, as many might have expected, when Schleck experienced mechanical problems on Stage 15 of the Tour…

Good evening, It’s a dry and clear evening, with an overnight low in Whitewater in the mid-sixties. I visit the Huffington Post every so often, and there’s usually a treat waiting, because that website covers all manner of topics, and far more than politics. I wasn’t disappointed earlier tonight, when during a visit I found…

Good evening, A very hot day comes to an end, with rain and a low of seventy-four for an overnight temperature. I was in Lake Geneva today, for a bit, and had a chance to see some of the cycling there. The route went directly through the downtown, and the racers sped through town despite…

Good evening, It’s a party cloudy night, with a low temperature that will be in the low sixties. The results of the ninth stage of the Tour de France, following a rest day, seemed to make clear that the battle was down to two riders: And in a sign of what to expect over the…

Good evening, It’s a slightly overcast evening, with a low of about sixty degrees for the overnight temperature. I blogged on Whitewater’s Planning Commission meeting earlier this evening, and I will later update that post with a few additional remarks. See, Whitewater’s Planning Commission Meeting for 7-12-10 (Live Blogging). Much of that meeting concerned residential…

Good evening, It’s a cloudy night, with a low temperature in the mid sixties for Whitewater. Most of the day here was beautiful, as the day was, also, in the French Alps on Stage 8 of the Tour de France. If you’ve been watching the Tour, you saw today how unpredictable cycling is. A race…

Good evening, It’s a cool and clear evening ahead, with a low of fifty-nine. If you’ve been following the Tour, it’s been a very good couple of days for Mark Cavendish. He had his second consecutive stage win on Stage 6, and Cancellara is still in yellow. Here’s the list of General Classification leaders (that…
