Now it is time for Crossy's tidbit of the day!! This tidbit is for those who you who are rabid at the thought of reading Harper Lee's "new" book. It is not a bad book, but as this article states, you should be forewarned that Watchman is, in reality a reject draft of Mockingbird. I am sure it will still be an interesting read, but do not expect a shiny, new, flawless novel. http://tinyurl.com/p8ldhnm

There is so much that people don't know here. I'm surprised Gore flies since he is American.

11:42 am

MollyL

I purposely avoided the ESPY awards due to the Caitlin Jenner crap.

11:48 am

rururocks

it was a really interesting speech he/she made. Caitlin did a really nice job to be honest. I was impressed. Wasn't really the right venue to speak about this issue.. (most of the athletes tuned out) but I found it interesting

11:49 am

MollyL

I agree that it wasn't the right venue to speak on the issue. However, the ESPY people could have given this award off screen. I think they used this as a publicity stunt.

11:50 am

rururocks

yeah.. it kind of looked like that to me too.

11:51 am

rururocks

and then I opened up the paper today to read about a woman who rear ended a food truck.. not because of texting but she was using a vibrator
