Good morning, Whitewater
In Wisconsin history today, on this day in 1857, Thorstein Veblen, author of The Theory of The Leisure Class (1899), was born. Here is a reference with links on Veblen’s work.
I typically post on the weather, with reports from the National Weather Service and the Farmers’ Almanac. They’re examples to me of planning done well (NWS) and poorly (FA). Today, for our town, the National Weather Service, predicts a high of 89 degrees with a chance of showers. The Farmers’ Almanac, predicts “stormy weather.”
For the FA, it’s a vague prediction, and that prediction, a year ahead, shies away from all the possible aspects of the day’s weather — humidity, etc. Long-range planning fails, typically, and it fails the way the FA fails — with vague and limited predictions.
