I have a rant I’d like to share with you. It has to do with the time 6:50 pm.  When I worked in the news business I liked 6:50 in the evening. That meant there were only 10 minutes left in the newscast and in 600 seconds I would be walking out the door headed for home. But tonight, right now, 6:50 pm irritates me.

Why?

It’s Saturday Night, we would like to go see a movie and then go out to dinner. But all the movies seem to start at 6:50 pm. By the time you get out of the movie it’s 9:30 or 10:00 and in Eugene/Springfield that means most places to eat are closed or shutting down.

My Question;

Why can’t movies start at 5:30 pm or 6:00 pm?

Just writing that down makes me feel so much better.
