Daily Bread: July 10, 2008

Good morning, Whitewater

The National Weather Service reports that today will have a chance of thunderstorms, with a high of 85. The Farmers’ Almanac reports that there will be scattered showers today, with high temperatures.

In Wisconsin history on this day, in 1897 — the high temperature reached 115 degrees in Ashland, Wisconsin. The Wisconsin Historical Society reports that the high temperature was recorded outside a drugstore in that town, and even lists the time as mid-afternoon, round 2 p.m.

There are no public meetings today, and we find ourselves with the appearance of those circumstances we were in truly for most of our history — limited government activity, and private life wholly predominant.
