Good Morning Kossacks and Welcome to Morning Open Thread (MOT)
We're known as the MOTley Crew and you can find us here every morning at 7:00 am Eastern (and perhaps sometimes earlier!). Feel free to volunteer to take a day - permanently or just once in awhile. With the Auto Publish feature you can set it and forget it. Sometimes the diarist du jour shows up much later: that's the beauty of Open Thread...it carries on without you! Volunteer in the comment threads.
Click on the MOT - Morning Open Thread ♥ if you'd like us to show up in your stream.
Solar Impulse 2 is powered only by the sun, and it is currently on a journey around the world. Starting at Abu Dhabi and now over China, it will then fly to Hawaii and on to Phoenix, have a stop at a location TBD in the mid US, another at New York, and then across the Atlantic back to Abu Dhabi. For live reporting on the flight, visit http://www.solarimpulse.com

Grab your cup and pull up a chair.
What is on your mind this morning?
