Katie Britt Lied

 Hello to later hours!  For the next... oh, so many months, the sun will not set in the evening until I am home from work.  I like that.  As we age, driving at night can be a bit of a bother, especially in drenching rainstorm like we had last evening.  Wowza!  Did we get rain!  Well over an inch fell soaking in and nourishing the roots of all my bulbs, and tubers,  and bushes.  I have tulips sprouting out all over the place, and after this week they're going to pop even more because start on Tuesday, our daily temps are going to be hitting the low 70s (F).  Will summer be a scorcher?

Retail was slow because of the constant rain, which occasionally reached deluge status.  You know it's heavy when you can hear it pounding on the roof of the brick and mortar, orange home improvement retailer I work for on weekends.  Yesterday, you could hear it pounding!

Because I do work today there will be no rowing, slow running, or cycling today.  Not only the times change, the Oscars are tonight, at a new time.  7 P.M. rather than their normal 8 P.M.  On Sunday, I work 10:30 - 7:00, so a change was necessary.  Last Monday, I asked if I could come in early in order to leave early, and got the approval.  So, I'll be leaving the house at 0930 this morning, or perhaps a little earlier.  Sometimes, we gotta do what we gotta do.  

As expected, I will be watching the Oscars this evening, the only award show I watch.  I know who'd I'd like to see win, and who will probably win.  Ryan Gosling, for example, without his performance Barbie would have been just another comedy, however I think the Oscar will go to Robert Downey, Jr..  I don't think Oppenheimer will walk away with everything, there were just too many very good films this year.  I can see costumes and set design going to Poor Things.  Joy Da'Vine probably has a lock on the Best Supporting Actress for The Holdovers.  Adapted Screenplay is anybody's guess, it could go to either Oppenheimer, Poor Things, or Barbie.  Tonight should be very entertaining.

And, to no one's surprise, it turns out that Katie Britt lied about the sex trafficking victim.  She didn't have a chat with the victim, Katie met her when Katie was part of a 3 senator round table 2 years ago.  And that sex trafficking?  That happened while George W was president, down in Mexico City.  Conservatives have zero ethics, they will lie about anything and everything to try and stay in power.  Her spokesperson admitted this, but, as was expected, said Biden was to blame because.... Republicans need to blame him for something.
