Morning Open Thread is a daily, copyrighted post, from a host of editors and guest writers. We support our community, invite and share ideas, and encourage thoughtful, respectful dialogue in an open forum.
This series was conceived as a haven where folks can drop in to share conversation, ideas, weather reports, and music. Feel free to leave a note, comment, picture, or tune. As always the diarist gets to sleep in, and may show up long after the post is published. So you know, it's a feature, not a bug.
Pull up a chair, get your cup of tea, coffee, or other favorite morning beverage and join us for a neighborly start to the day ahead.
This week has seen an uncommon heat wave across most of the country. We need to cool off a bit, so here are some videos with a psychological intent for dealing with the heat.
When you look out to see Jim Cantore and the Weather Channel setting up a shot on your front lawn, you are probably in for an *interesting* day.
Wednesday Lagniappe:
This is an open thread.
We have stories, tall tales, weather reports, critter reports, music, and companionship to spare.
Get your favorite morning beverage and join the discussion.
