FREE WHITEWATER

Daily Bread for 9.18.12

Good morning.

It’s a slight chance of showers and a high of sixty-one for Whitewater today.

In the afternoon, Whitewater’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee meets at 3:45 PM. This evening, Whitewater’s Alcohol Licensing Commission meets at 6:00 PM, with Common Council meeting thereafter at 6:30 PM.

On this day in 1793, an architectural beginning:

George Washington lays the cornerstone to the United States Capitol building, the home of the legislative branch of American government. The building would take nearly a century to complete, as architects came and went, the British set fire to it and it was called into use during the Civil War. Today, the Capitol building, with its famous cast-iron dome and important collection of American art, is part of the Capitol Complex, which includes six Congressional office buildings and three Library of Congress buildings, all developed in the 19th and 20th centuries.

From Google’s daily puzzle, a question for stargazers: “If you live in an area classified as the most polluted on the Bortle Scale, which Messier object is typically visible to the naked eye?”
