Good morning.
Sunday in Whitewater will be sunny with a high of 78. Sunrise is 7:03 and sunset is 6:18 for 11 hours 15 minutes of daylight. The moon is a waxing crescent with 1.2 percent of its visible disk illuminated.
On this day in 1910, piloted by Arch Hoxsey, Theodore Roosevelt becomes the first U.S. president to fly in an airplane.
As this Whitewater resident has argued many times — and been right each of those times — Fall is the Most Beautiful Season™. Part of that beauty comes from temporary, bittersweet farewells — seeing one’s children off to school, seeing one’s children off to college. One hopes for the best for those one loves. Even the natural world has a prior version of our fall customs when bird species migrate from Wisconsin for milder winter climes. Part of fall and winter’s beauty is the hopeful waiting for a return of people, and to a on obviously lesser extent, even animals.
One waits patiently and hopefully for the return of children one loves, and of the diversity nature supplies.
