WOW it got warm!!  It was so nice but then we hit the high 80's and into the 90's.  The nights are warmer but still OK but the problem I am having, no breezes!  So been sleeping with the AC on auto-on but it hasn't been running all night which is good.  The ceiling fans are nice but they only circulate the air that is in there so you need input air to keep it cooler or you just circulate the air as it gets warmer and warmer.  We need ceiling fans with some sort of coolant!  That way when they run, they can generate their own cool air.  Someone make this happen please and it would be a cool add-on to existing fans.  I am sure there is some health and environmental problem with it but one can dream and hope.  By the way, I want this fan pictured because it is cool.

Weekly Update:
What happened this week ... more work, many hours but in the middle had a fun event.  Had our semi-annual town hall event and a cool place in Fullerton called Museo.  Its a small museum but the space is really nice.  It is also walking distance to our offices, half a block so no has an excuse about driving to it.  The food was really good, had a couple of pulled pork sliders along with mac & cheese. I love me good mac & cheese, always on the hunt for quality mac/cheese.  One of the best I have had is Slidebar in Downtown Fullerton but it has been awhile so who knows if it has gotten better or worse.  But the event was good, the food was delicious and I was paid to be there ... win-win for me.

At the movies:
No surprise this week at #1 as "Suicide Squad" continues to dominate.  Big drop though from last week, 67% but still managed to earn an extra 43.8 mil and now just over 200 mil cume.  Continue to expect a rapid decline and should get close to 300 mil cume which is good but not great for a film of this magnitude.  New at #2 is the R-Rated animated Sausage Party with 33.6 mil, above expectations.  New at #3 is Pete's Dragon with 21.5 mil and close to expectations.  Not much to write about on this one and unfortunately won't reach 100 mil at this rate.  Big drop to #4 is "Jason Bourne" with another 13.6 mil but has surpassed the 100 mil cume.  Rounding off the top 5 is "Bad Moms" with another 11.5 mil and could still break 100 mil cume.

New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one as Florence Foster Jenkins comes in at #8 with 6.6 mil and right at expectations.
