So what is on your mind this morning?

(By the way, we had some server problems last night, but all is looking good now...sorry about that!)

Re: Open Thread (none / 0)

Yeah,
server problems. Came back to the hotel last night and booked 30 mins on the PC. After about 5, both BT and ET were unaccessible..
Anyway, good to see it back up.

Trying to not have too many things on my mind - isn't that what vacations are for?

Oh, if I would have read yesterday's open thread

http://www.eurotrib.com/story/2005/7/26/81654/0635

I would have found out how the Bergen beer and dinner event went. So, the first ET meet-up!! Where's the next one? Great photos!!

Another hot day in store here in Switzerland (33c...high 80s or low 90s F), though nothing like some of the temperatures I'm hearing in the US and southern Europe...yow!

Hi again bob,
Back in Oslo. This is what it looked like while we had a (some) beer last afternoon. My visage has already been published on the blogs - curly and Sirocco are still shy:
