You know, we need rain and lots of it! We need free solar panels on every house because energy is not being captured. What if we installed free solar panels on houses so we can power our own homes and the remaining power can be given back to the power company. THEN, we can exchange that power reserve to other states that have water we pipe into California because I am sure they would like more energy, no? This way they do not need to use the energy of running water to power themselves and we can sell our energy to them in exchange for water. Well, just a thought anyway ... maybe they already have enough power they do not need anymore but we sure can use it and have the means to harness it.
Weekly Update:I am still pretty amazed how people can walk in the middle of the parking lot when you have cars coming both directions. I saw this again the other day while at Costco and they had one cart but made a wall (family of four) and I would say blocked about 70% of the parking aisle. There was a car facing them but further out and I was behind them not that much further out. What are they trying to accomplish except for being a jerk family? Do they own Costco? If they do, then I take the jerk family comment back but then I have a hunch they did not. I don't understand it and it makes sense if maybe they had two shopping carts but then you can push them behind one another. Why family? Why must you be such a jerk and block the aisle when your car is halfway down? And when they got to their car, one of the kids was still almost in the middle of the street! Great parenting of letting them stand out there while you load your car and other cars are driving up and down ... stupid.
At the movies:
No surprises at the box office this weekend but overall a nice boost to a very depressed time of year for grosses. In at #1 for the families is Hotel Transylvania 2 with 47.5 million to open and right on target with predictions. Word-of-mouth is good so this film should carry into the mid 150+ when it is said and done. New at #2 is The Intern with 18.2 mil and also very close to predictions. Movie seems fair and could carry for another week. Holding ground at #3 is "Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials" with 14 mil extra and end of the run soon. Boost to #4 after its limited run is "Everest" with another 13.1 mil and that is a 81% increase from the previous week. Both solid reviews and numbers on this one. Rounding off the top 5 is "Black Mass" with another 11.5 mil and should cap out around 60+ mil.
New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one this week as The Green Inferno comes in at #9 with only 3.5 mil. About a third of expectations but then again we were not expecting much. It might have been too soon for horror films or that this genre is in a slump time right now.
