Rain?!  Yeah, but just a little bit.  Never enough but enough to get the ground wet.  As the saga continues for the drought in Southern California, we continue to consume and consume.  We have to consume to survive but I do not think water awareness is taking a front row seat as it should.  I wonder if the water company goes to homes to check on leaks instead of just looking at a meter.  I mean would it not be beneficial if they started doing that on top of meter checks and if they notice something wrong, let the home know or offer to fix it through some kind of program that is either free or reduced cost to the home owner?  I see these guys all the time and they come and go in like 2 seconds.  I am sure they have a busy job ahead of them but would it effect their job that much for a 2 minute inspection of the just the property?  Edison seems to be doing this and that is great with incredible programs for energy conservation.  Maybe the water company could take a lesson from them.

Weekly Update:
I noticed something earlier this week ... if you are holding a baby and you are standing next to either a glass door or glass cabinet ... then that baby begins to pound on that glass you tell them to stop and they do not stop ... why do you continue to stand next to that glass?  I think taking one step away would solve that issue yet they continued to stand there, continued to say stop it and the cycle repeats.  Break the cycle people, it is not the hard.  Your one stop away is more than enough than their arm length to reach it anymore considering where you are standing now, they are barely reaching it but enough for a solid hit.  Honestly people ... this is not that difficult!

At the movies:
Disaster strikes ... at the box office to win big as the action epic film San Andreas earns a hefty 53.2 million this weekend.  Above all expectations and decent word-of-mouth may help it carry into Summer a bit.  Holding on to #2 is "Pitch Perfect 2" with another 14.8 mil as it sings to a now 147.5 mil cume.  Dropping down to #3 is "Tomorrowland" with 13.8 mil as it unfortunately will struggle to hit 100 mil.  Still going at #4 is "Mad Max: Fury Road" with an extra 13.6 mil as it passes the 100 mil cume mark now.  And rounding off the top 5 and holding ground is "The Avengers: Age of Ultron" with another 10.9 mil and still trying to break half a billion domestic but will fall short.

New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one this week as Aloha chimes in at #6 with only 10 mil.  Word-of-mouth only fair to bad on this film so look for the fast burn.
