So the heat is coming!  Started to get hot again this week but the coming week it says a heat storm is coming with temperatures in the high 90's!  We're already past Summer (by date) and are in Fall yet it feels like the peak of Summer!!  I will never understand our weather pattern and I probably say this every year too.  But it is also a reminder that global warming is real and not some made up term or weird scientific propaganda.  It exists, plain and simple.  It doesn't mean if it didn't that it would still be hot but definitely would not be this extreme.  Our drought would not be as severe as it is.  Our water reserves would be better off, maybe have a bit more rain each year ... hard to say but again, would not be this bad.

Weekly Update:
So I was wondering, when did the Carl's Jr Six Dollar Burger cost $6 and more?  I though the whole idea of this burger was you were getting a restaurant quality burger which normally cost you six dollars but you are only paying half that.  I know the combos are more with the drink and fries but it looks like the burger themselves are around $5 to $7, with the whole 1/3 and 1/2 patties now.  When did Carl's consider themselves non-Fast Food and figured they were a restaurant?  I mean I like Carl's Jr and when I do go people are always very nice and attentive but let's be honest, you go there for a quick burger and out the door you go.  They taste good and above average quality but, its still fast food.

At the movies:
Still flying solo at #1 is "Sully" with another 22 million and now closing in at the 100 mil cume.  May get that in another week but solid award buzz on this film.  New at #2 is Blair Witch with 9.6 mil to open.  Slightly below expectations but not surprising either.  New at #3 is Bridget Jones's Baby with only 8.2 mil and well below all expectations.  The curiosity of what happened to her just wasn't there anymore.  New at #4 is Snowden with only 8 mil and close to expectations.  Not a lot of buzz surrounding this so could be a very quick burn.  Rounding off the top 5 is "Don't Breathe" with another 5.6 mil and will fall short of 100 mil but had a good run overall.

Facts & Tips:
Bees are born fully grown.


"You look down, they know you're lying and up, they know you don't know the truth. Don't use seven words when four will do. Don't shift your weight, look always at your mark but don't stare, be specific but not memorable, be funny but don't make him laugh. He's got to like you then forget you the moment you've left his side. And for God's sake, whatever you do, don't, under any circumstances..." - Brad Pitt as Rusty Ryan in "Ocean's Eleven."
