The Coffee Shop is an open thread-style discussion forum for human interest news of the day.

—oooOooo–

There are several hosts, each host being responsible for picking a “theme of the day” and starting the discussion. But in an open thread, there’s no hard and fast rule about staying on topic, especially if you have a personal story burning a hole in your pocket trying to escape.

Pictures and videos are welcome in the comments.  If photos are used, please be sure you own the copyright. We would rather see your personal photos anyway, instead of random stuff copied from the internet.  Our only request is that if you use pictures or videos, take pity on those who don’t have broadband, and don’t post more than two or three in a single comment.

This is an Open Thread. Grab your cup, pull up a chair, sit a spell and share what’s on your mind today.

Still channeling Joy of Fishes — another episode of Bertie’s mad adventures on Vancouver Island —  Big Bears, and Boulders and Crabs, Oh My!

Meanwhile, a grizzly bear in another part of British Columbia decided to see the world through the eyes of nature photographer Jim Lawrence. Not surprising that this photo went viral as soon as Lawrence posted it.
