Got a bit more warmer this week, enough to have the AC on for short periods of time but the nights are still so nice!  I hope the rest of Summer is like this then it will be great.  I have to say in general our Summer has been fair to good so I wonder if this means our Winter will be good?  I hope that is a sign or a clue and we may get some rain this year.  I wish we had fireflies around here but are they only in humid areas?  I have never seen one in person but seem pretty fascinating.  I think that is what we are missing around here ... some fireflies!

Weekly Update:
Not much of a week but work work work.  Felt very busy but then again been working a lot of crazy and extra hours.  But I am also extra sleepy too.  I mean if you work 12 hours in a day, half of it is gone.  But you figure eating, driving, shower, other times ... that has to be at least 4 or 5 hours right?  But HALF the day is working ... we need a siesta time AND a lunch time, that would be great and recharge the batteries for the rest of the day.  Would it improve before and after inefficiencies?  Who knows but I remember at other jobs the sodas and hot beverages were free and that was nice.  Monday's breakfast brought in and Friday's lunches all paid for by the company.  Those were nice times.

At the movies:
Big weekend with no major surprises as Suicide Squad takes top honors opening to 135.1 million.  Word-of-mouth in general is unfavorable for this film so could see a significant drop next weekend.  Big drop to #2 is "Jason Bourne" with another 22.7 mil but enough to pass it over the 100 mil cume mark.  Will struggle to reach 150 mil cume though.  Slight drop to #3 is "Bad Moms" earning an extra 14.2 mil and will not reach that 100 mil cume mark but will be close.  Another slight drop to #4 is "The Secret Life of Pets" with another 11.6 mil and now at 320 mil cume.  Should cap out soon but solid run for this film being a non-Disney animated.  Rounding off the top 5 is "Star Trek Beyond" with another 10.2 mil and also will cap out soon in the 150 mil range.

New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one this week as Nine Lives comes in at #6 earning only 6.5 mil and short of expectations but not by much.
