I think I smell smoke ... mid-week I got home in the evening and it was warm. It smelled like there was a fire some where with the winds going a bit but I did not hear anything. That smokey smell lasted maybe two days and never found out what it was but I guess whatever it may have been, it wasn't serious enough for reporting? I checked a couple of news sites, nada. I did not notice the usual heavy ash on the ground and cars you would see. Well, I hope whatever it may have been it was not anything serious.
Weekly Update:I still do not understand parking lots and why big SUV's need to park in compact spots. For that matter, when there is a dozen compact spots, why a small car needs to park in a regular spot. They are there for a reason
people. The worse was a couple of days ago in a parking structure, one half of a row was compact and the other regular. So I saw over a dozen compact and maybe 6 or 7 regular spots. A Fiat was in one of the regular but that is not the worst of it, the worst was a regular mid-sized car in a compact leaning over the line on the right. WORSE yet ... a big Ford truck taking up two compact spots ... why did they not take one of the regular spots?! People are dumb (truck picture is not actual truck I saw but same idea ... and same color and type of truck too!)
At the movies:
Staying on target, "American Sniper" holds the #1 spot for a 2nd week in a row earning another 64.4 million and now hitting the 200 mil mark! Strong lead in making its way north of 300 mil. New at #2 is The Boy Next Door with 15 mil and just as expected too. Holding at #3 is "Paddington" with 12.4 mil and so far decent legs post-holiday. Drop to #4 is "The Wedding Ringer" with 11.6 mil and losing steam fast. Rounding up the top 5 is "Taken 3" with 7.6 mil and will definitely fall short of 100 mil cume target.
New movies that did
not make the top 5:
Coming in at #7 is Strange Magic with only 5.5 mil and well below all
expectations. Not a great time for animated films perhaps with all the
award titles going strong? Appearing at #9 is Mortdecai with
only 4 mil and well below all expectations as well. This comedy did not
deliver on any laughs despite the pedigree of talent associated with it.
