Generally speaking, not bad of a week weather-wise. The days were fairly cool but really windy at times. Wind is also good in general because it disperses the smog more, clears the skies a bit and if we have those wind-generating mills that helps them create more energy! Wind and solar are two great sources of energy that we need to continue to tap into! I hear there is home versions of those wind generators which sounds interesting but I can not imagine in this area it would be economical. Those wind generators you see, they still require a little bit of power to run so in order to create energy you still have to use it. But naturally the energy you use was created by the wind and it is helping make even more energy. Solar is just equipment that creates energy from zero but the cost of that to set up is just not economical at this time for home-owners. I think right now it would take at least 5 years to re coop the cost of having one put in. If it was within the first year, that may be a better investment!
Weekly Update:So what did I do this week? Nothing ... just work and work and more work. All indoors, all boring for the most part oh and Earth Day is coming up. Kind of sad we only observe it once a year when we live here our entire lives. I really is not enough that we do in our lives to preserve the planet. Sure we recycle when we can remember and try not to waste but then you have to think that the stuff we are trying not to waste, we had to process it from the Earth in the first place. That is why recycling is so important because we do not want to generate more from the planet and re-use what we can. I know there is a whole process of recycling as well that requires new materials to recycle but compared to creating something from scratch can save nearly 60% of having to continue to use new materials. That is a big reduction and in time hopefully we can make that process even more refined to closer to 80% in the very near future.
At the movies:
The race to Summer is still on as "Furious 7" continues to dominate the box office for a 3rd week in a row earning an extra 29.1 million and just shy of 300 mil cume. No doubt it will have it this Tuesday the latest but after that it will quickly slow down. However it has already claimed the title of biggest movie so far for 2015 till May 1st. New at #2 is Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 with a 24 mil opening and right about expectations. Also new at #3 is Unfriended with 16 mil and below industry expectations but pretty much what we expected it to be at. Holding ground at #4 is "Home" earning another 10.3 mil. Rounding off the top 5 is "The Longest Ride" with 6.9 mil and this ride is pretty much over.
New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one this week but honestly it is right about where it should be. Disneynature series Monkey Kingdom earns 4.7 mil and a little below expectations but still that is almost all profit at this point.
