The heat continues!!! What is worse is the heat is here, the nights are still cool but our drought has gotten so much worse. With the rain levels so far this year being dismal, remember our past Winter was basically a light Summer?? The showers we did get only lasted hours to minutes, nothing really lasted more than a day and our reserves are nearly empty. We need water desperately in the So Cali region but we can't just make rain happen. I don't have two-bits to spend on a rainmaker to get the party started and I don't think their rain seeds work ... oh but how I wish they did! I think just about every city in the the South land would invest in them, buy them, build them ... use them!! But then we would also become a swamp or something with too much moisture and water ... oh the irony.Weekly Update:
This week was a bit more calm after last week filled with sadness. Not saying it was all good or bad, just saying it was a bit better. But aside from that ... yet another boring week in general. I did manage to do a bunch of errands but that was about it ... drove all over town, dropped this off, picked this up, delivered this. I felt like a combo taxi and delivery service at times. Was just missing the little horn (meep meep) and the reverse beep beep beeping noise!
At the movies:
The heroes in the half-shell were able to defend the crown this weekend as "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" earns another 28.4 million and gets past the 100 mil cume mark. Look for a pretty quick burn after this weekend though as we wrap up Summer. Also holding ground at #2 is "Guardians of the Galaxy" bringing in another 24.7 mil for its third weekend as it pushes its way past 200 mil! New at #3 is the comedy "Let's Be Cops" as it debuts at 17.7 mil for the weekend (26.1 mil total with a Wednesday opening) and word-of-mouth isn't strong on this film. In at #4 is the big budgeted action film "The Expendables 3" earning 16.2 mil which is on the low-end of the prediction range. Talks are already on for a 4th installment, this film must be big overseas to warrant it. Rounding off the top 5 is "The Giver" with a respectable 12.8 mil and could see a little longevity at the box office before the Summer is over.
