Good morning, Whitewater.
Midweek in the Whippet City brings a mostly cloudy day with a high of thirty-two. Sunrise is 7:25 and sunset 4:36 for 9h 11m 17s of daytime. The moon is a waning crescent with 13.3% of its visible disk illuminated.
It may be cloudy, but that doesn’t mean a good day doesn’t await. I’m an optimist about our future, but even as an optimist some days seem notably promising.
Whitewater’s Board of Zoning Appeals meets this morning at 8:30 AM.
This is the week for the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. It’s a gadget-geek cornucopia, and The Verge has coverage of the events. Here’s a look at a some of the goings on:
1921 – Janesville Women Abhor Salacious Entertainment
On this date the Janesville Federation of Women decided to “censor” movies and vaudeville in the city. Members of this organization praised and promoted what they considered “better offerings.” They were zealously critical towards those of a “salacious” nature. No follow-up ever determined whether the women were successful in their quest or if the increased publicity for “salacious” shows backfired. [Source:Janesville Gazette]
