RAIN!  Well, a day of it at least.  Kind of sad that each time we get rain, it is a major event now.  It lasted for about half a day total with heavy and light moments and of course ... it is all dried up.  Hopefully it brought some snow to the mountains so we will get some water this Spring for a day, maybe two!  WOOHOO ... so lame.  Plus, as always, the weather report was wrong again!  Shocker, I know.  It was suppose to be here on Thursday afternoon but instead showed up Wednesday afternoon.  Is it that hard to see clouds moving on a radar and calculate the speed in which they are moving to get a better prediction of the rain?  But I guess they can not even get the weather right no matter what ... do we need weather men/women any more as part of the news since we have phone apps now?

Weekly Update:
Started some new training this week and new hours for work ... it is very tiring waking up at the crack of dawn but also very odd being home before 5!  Not use to it and as soon as I get home I just want t nap for an hour for the loss of sleep from the night before.  I still can not go to sleep before 1 AM and having to wake up around 5 AM, you can see how a nap is helpful here.  I use to not care for naps or could never take them but now I guess I am so tired, it just take the nap.  I was hoping it would not mess up my normal schedule but so far it has not but it has only been about a week.  So time will tell, sort of a case study I guess.  Hopefully I can enjoy a daily nap and still not be up all night till 1 or 2 AM only to be super tired the following day.

At the movies:

Still a dead weekend as "Deadpool" holds on to #1 as predicted earning another 55 million.  A bit of a surprise drop but it was a holiday weekend last week and the film is well past 200 mil domestic cume now.  Holding ground at #2, "Kung Fu Panda 3" with another 12.5 mil and that gives 20th Century Fox the top 2 spots!  Panda 3 is now into the 100 mil club and should cap out around 150 when it is said and done.  New at #3 is Risen with 11.8 mil and about expectations, this film should have waited till late March to open.  New at #4 is The Witch with a debut of 8.7 mil and also about on target.  Rounding off the top 5 is "How to Be Single" earning an extra 8.2 mil and likely the last time in the top 5.

New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one this week as Race comes in at #6 with only 7.3 mil and a little below expectations.
