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

—oooOooo–

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.
