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. Or not. So you know, it's a feature, not a bug.
We have been asked, “Why the copyright notice.”
The purpose of this notice is to protect the intellectual property of the diarist/writer. Said property includes writings, original ideas, photographs, and images by the diary author, who retains ownership of his/her own material and ideas. This notice does not affect commenters in the least, because everyone owns their own material.
Pull up a chair, get your cup of tea, coffee, or other favorite morning beverage and join us for a neighborly {{{{{chilly}}}}} start to the day ahead.
There is a wealth of riches when it come to tunes for Halloween. I could only sample a few. Here goes with, what else? Monster Mash!
Lots more good tunes for the upcoming Scary Day.
For our Zydeco style devotees:
Blues for Halloween:
And for a bit of swamp drama from N’awlins.
We will be back next week with a slightly more serious look at All Hallows Eve.
This is an open thread.
Get your favorite morning libation, pull up a chair and join us for sharing ideas, jokes, weather, music, and memories.
