Good morning.
Sunday in Whitewater will be partly sunny, with a high of fifty-seven.
The Friday FW poll asked if we were Slaves to Our Devices? Responses were almost evenly split between yes and no, with 52.63% of respondents believing that we’re free, but 46.37% believing that our smartphones ands tablets have enslaved us.
It’s getting warmer, but perhaps a video of skiing will make you miss winter.

On this day in 1864, Wisconsinites participate as the Union’s Wilderness Campaign begins:
1864 – (Civil War) Wilderness Campaign Opens in Virginia
Union forces crossed the Rapidan River in Virginia and prepared to fight at the Wilderness the next day. The resulting series of battles between May 5 and June 12, 1864, is called the Wilderness Campaign, or Grant’s Overland Campaign. The 2nd, 5th, 6th, 7th, 19th, 36th and 38th Wisconsin Infantry regiments and the 4th Wisconsin Light Artillery participated in this series of bloody battles. The initial Battle of the Wilderness on May 5-7, 1864, produced nearly 30,000 casualties without giving either side a clear victory.
