Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Tuesday’s Morning Open Thread.
Editor’s Note: Morning Open Thread is looking for community members willing to take on hosting duties—whether it’s a day here and there or a regular weekly post: Tuesday, Thursdays, and Saturdays are available. If you’re interested, just reach out to me or Officebss.
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.
I’ve come to think of this post as one where you come for the music and stay for the conversation—so feel free to drop a note.
Join us, please.
The weather here has been beautiful (mid-50s in the evenings through morning with highs in the lower 80s), but we don’t get much of a seasonal display when it comes to colors. But, I’ll be off to the Northeast in a couple days, with a hope that I can get my fill of fall.
Cheers everyone.
Given that we don’t have a permanent editor for Tuesdays, I figured we could use the slot as a refresher on some basics of our government and a few interesting looks at parts of the political process. So, for the next few weeks, I’m going to post a few videos I find interesting, like this one about JFK’s plane.
From the video’s introduction: November 22, 2023, marked the 60th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. SAM 26000, Kennedy's Air Force One, is on display in the museum's Presidential Gallery. He flew aboard SAM 26000 to Dallas, Texas, where he was assassinated on Nov. 22, 1963—and it was on this airplane that Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson was sworn in as the new president. SAM 26000 then carried Kennedy's body and Johnson back to Washington, D.C
