Daily Bread for 4.7.26: Elections Are a Beginning

Good morning.

Tuesday in Whitewater will be mostly sunny with a high of 43. Sunrise is 6:26 and sunset is 7:28 for 13 hours 2 minutes of daytime. The moon is a waning gibbous with 73.4 percent of its visible disk illuminated.

On this day in 1927, AT&T engineer Herbert Ives transmits the first long-distance public television broadcast (from Washington, D.C., to New York City, displaying the image of Commerce Secretary Herbert Hoover).


I’ve read somewhere that today is election day in Wisconsin… Sometimes, in Whitewater, there’s a small flurry of schemes and lies in March that precede the April local election. We have not had that this year. (This year in Whitewater, the schemes and lies came along in February.)

This Election Day isn’t merely the end of a political season; it’s the beginning of a new one. It brings the commentary assessing the result and preparing for what comes next.

People choose freely. Afterward, one makes one’s way in the world of those choices.
