Good morning,
There’s a forecast for mostly sunny skies, with a high of thirty-nine. The ‘mostly sunny’ or ‘partly sunny’ forecast is a standard in Wisconsin — the skies just aren’t as sunny as other places in America. There’s extraordinary natural beauty in Wisconsin, but one often walks under a slightly clouded sky.
There’s no school today, and no public meetings scheduled for the City of Whitewater, either. In that, one might find an excellent question for students when they return to school next week:
Without any public meetings in the city, without a single committee, task force, or project being planned, do you now feel 1/365th less well-off? Do you feel that, without that guiding hand, you and your families lost something, as though the day were, in some way, taken from you?
One can be very sure of the answer, and still have little hope that its meaning will register on those in public office so certain of their indispensability.
New York’s loss is our gain — those in New York don’t know what they’re missing: They don’t deserve our beer: Spotted Cow confiscated in NYC.
They do know, though, why they’re missing it — a law that diminishes choice by requiring a tavern to purchase only from a state-approved wholesaler.
