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.

I have been tying my own shoes for almost forty years. At least, I assume I have. I can't remember doing it for all that time, but I don't think anybody else would have done it, so it was probably me.
I'd actually assumed up to this point that it was a skill I had mastered, until I watched this video.
Well, since watching the video I've done some soul searching.
In my lifetime I have moved from reading only books to getting every bit of information from a computer. I learned how to draw with a pencil, moved to watercolor, and then adjusted to computer modeling because I had a computer, but couldn't afford paint.
I've decided that this is where I make my stand.
Tomorrow, I'm going to tie my shoes the same way I always have. It feels good to embrace my inner cranky old man at last.
Have a good morning everyone. If you decide to go with this new-fangled method, I won't hold it against you.
Much.
