There are no public meetings scheduled for the City of Whitewater today.

The Farmers’ Almanac prediction, as it is usually a several days’ prediction, again looks to pleasant conditions; the National Weather Service forecasts a 100% chance of heavy rain. Best bet — carry an umbrella.
Over at ESPN, they show the Brewers as 6-2, followed by another notation, 3-2, in parentheses. That’s the secret, really, to their season — it’s division play that will make the difference for the Brewers. I’ll pick up on that point in my first Ballpark post, this week.
