FREE WHITEWATER

Daily Bread: April 18, 2008

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 o’clock on Sunday afternoon. The arch follows the nearby restoration of the Stone Stable as a change in the appearance of the area near Cravath. I have posted previously that I consider the Stone Stable the best Whitewater project of 2007.

In our school district, there are spring pictures at Washington School today, and a book fair at Lincoln.

On this date in 1818, Wisconsin-area land became part of the Michigan Territory. Becoming part of the Michigan territory is not as ominous as it sounds — it brought Wisconsin closer to eventual statehood (as a shift from Wisconsin’s prior status as part of the Northwest Territory).

The forecast is for rain today. I’ll summarize a contrast between forecasts from the National Weather Service and the Farmers’ Almanac this weekend. I’ll also contend that it’s really the private forecast that’s closer to a traditional government model than the National Weather Service’s forecasting method.
