Daily Bread: October 17, 2008

Good morning, Whitewater


In Wisconsin history on this date, in 1970, the Wisconsin Historical Society reports that the Richard Nixon visited Green Bay. Nixon went to speak at a dinner honoring Bart Starr.

(Nixon had another Green Bay connection, of sorts. Nixon reportedly considered Vince Lombardi as a possible running mate in 1968, abandoning the idea when he learned that Lombardi was a Democrat. Above, you can see what Lombardi avoided missed.)

There are no public meetings scheduled for the city today. The path to your weekend is unobstructed.

The National Weather Service predicts that today will bring a 30% chance of showers, and a high temperature of 53 degrees. The Farmers’ Almanac starts a new, multi-day series with a prediction of “squalls Great Lakes area.”

Yesterday’s better prediction: NWS, again. It’s been a bad run for the long-range planning of the FA.
