Daily Bread for 2.3.25: Dressing for the Weather

Good morning.

Monday in Whitewater will be cloudy with a high of 38. Sunrise is 7:06 and sunset is 5:11, for 10 hours, 4 minutes of daytime. The moon is a waxing crescent with 31.2 percent of its visible disk illuminated.

Whitewater’s Equal Opportunities Commission meets at 5 PM.

On this day in 1959, rock and roll musicians Buddy HollyRitchie Valens, and J. P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson are killed in a plane crash along with the pilot near Clear Lake, Iowa, an event later known as The Day the Music Died.


Whitewater, like many other places, now heads into a period of controversies. The question for residents of this small city is how to address those controversies, responding when necessary, and deciding how to organize one’s responses.

Whitewater has had its share of controversies. There are five differences between those of the past and now: (1) the pace between accusations is quicker, (2) there are more of them offered at the same time, (3) they are often made without accuracy and sound reasoning, (4) they are made in a time that deprecates any expertise, and (5) behind-the-scenes conflicts of interest are ignored.

The sarcastic implication of the expression a little knowledge is a dangerous thing applies to much of what one hears and reads from would-be critics of policy.

All of this requires changes in responsive approach, to respond competently and thoroughly, in conditions of frequent sleet and hail.

One dresses for the weather, so to speak.
