Open Thread.

It was 40 years ago today, August 15, 1971, I moved to Colorado. I don't think it ever occurred to me back then it might be permanent, but I can't think of a better place to call home. How happy are you with where you live?

I'm off to court for the rest of the day, here's an open thread, all topics welcome.

Watching tonight: The finale of the Next Food Network Star (go Susie or Jeff.) The season opener of the Great Food Truck Race. And, of course, Big Brother and Breaking Bad. Am I missing anything?

This is an open thread, all topics welcome, TV related or not.

There is little news being reported other than Republicans, and I'm not interested in them.

What's left? I finally made the switch yesterday from a drip brewer to a single serve coffee maker with pods. I should have done it a year ago. I forgot what fresh coffee tastes like. If you haven't switched yet, and you make coffee only for yourself every morning, try it. I was afraid the coffee would taste like instant or be too weak or not hot enough. All false. It's great and fast and no pot or filter to clean. I got the Keurig Special Edition B60.

Second new thing I did: I wanted to hear BTD on the radio on Sirius yesterday, which meant driving somewhere, but what's open at 9 am on a Saturday morning? The local Farmer's market. I am so tired of grocery store tomatoes. Even their heirlooms have little taste. Our farmer's market was excellent -- aside from tomatoes with real flavor, I got sweet onions that were picked hours before I bought them, Olathe corn on the cob and Pallisades peaches and the best melons I've had in years. Yes, Whole Foods has them too, but not as fresh. Go early and skip the crowds.

I'd rather write about the news, but for now I'm not seeing anything interesting, so here's an open thread, all topics welcome.

Busy day. Open Thread.

I forgot how time-consuming it is to replace a primary desktop computer. It's taken me almost a week to get everything transferred and reinstalled. I still prefer Windows XP to Windows 7, in every way, but I guess I'll adjust.

On to the Next Food Network Star, Big Brother and Breaking Bad.

Here's an open thread, all topics welcome. (I see BTD has an open thread up as well, so feel free to post at either one.)

My old work here.

Digby updates.

I have nothing new to say on the subject. I'm sure y'all do.
