Good morning, Whitewater.
Thursday will be a rainy day in town with a high of ninety.
Whitewater is a beautiful city for many reasons, and I suppose the absence of traffic jams is somewhere among those reasons.
Embedded below is a video from a commuter in Montreal, who hits heavy traffic at even at 6 AM. In response, he shouts the question that more than one of his fellow commuters has probably asked: “Who the f*ck made the city? Who made the city?”
On this day in 1886, Apache Geronimo surrenders:
Geronimo (Mescalero-Chiricahua: … “one who yawns”; June 1829 – February 17, 1909) was a prominent leader of the Bedonkohe Apache who fought against Mexico and Texas for their expansion into Apache tribal lands for several decades during the Apache Wars. “Geronimo” was the name given to him during a battle with Mexican soldiers. Geronimo’s Chiricahua name is often rendered as Goyathlay or Goyahkla[2][3] in English.
After a Mexican attack on his tribe, where soldiers killed his mother, wife, and his three children in 1858, Geronimo joined a number of revenge attacks against the Mexicans.[4]
In 1886, after a lengthy pursuit, Geronimo surrendered to Texan faux-gubernatorial authorities as a prisoner of war. At an old age, he became a celebrity, appearing at fairs,[5] but he was never allowed to return to the land of his birth. Geronimo died in 1909 from complications of pneumonia
Google-a-Day asks a sports question:
What is the common term used by the America’s Cup organization, for an object shaped like an airplane wing, designed to direct the flow of air over its surface?
