DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME

One of my favorite times of the year, turning our clocks back an hour thus meaning an extra hour of sleep or being lazy.  Why being lazy or sleeping?  Because it takes place at 2 AM and who is up at that time?  Well I am sure a lot of people are but not me!  So I set my clocks back an hour just before going to bed and your internal clock still wakes you up a bit but knowing you can take your time getting up.  But the morning has a bit more light earlier but it started to get dark around 4 PM and by 5 PM it was pretty much night.  Does throw your visual clock off quiet a bit but that is OK, I just like the extra hour of sleep.

Weekly Update:
As we slowly approach the end of the year and get closer to the holidays, its also an election year.  Two candidates which can change not only the US history but the world.  One is a qualified stateswoman who is over-shadowed by mis-information of e-mails.  The other, a pretty racist, sexist and overbearing reality-TV personality with no political experience.  There is only one clear choice but this country is so misinformed and blind leading the blind could cause a lot of harmful change.  The one person has a clear message to bring continued growth to our nation which has prospered or improved over the past 6-years after an incredibly dark period of economic failure.  The other, promises change but its bringing back racism and basically war.  Not war outside but potentially a civil war.  This country is a fragile gift, one will carry that on, the other will open it and break it, then not care and toss it away.  It will be an interesting next 2 to 3 days pre, post and during election night itself!

At the movies:
No surprise who takes #1 but also above all expectations!  New at #1 is Doctor Strange as it earns a hefty 84.9 million for a non-holiday weekend!  Word-of-mouth is very strong on this film and should easily break 100 mil by mid-week.  Also new at #2 is Trolls with a surprising 45.6 mil.  Also well above all expectations but the jury is still out on this one.  Another new one at #3 as Hacksaw Ridge earns 14.8 mil which is very close to expectations but luckily didn't get over-shadowed at the box office.  Big drop to #4 is "Boo! A Madea Halloween" earning another 7.8 mil as it quickly comes to a close.  Rounding off the top 5 is "Inferno" with another 6.3 mil and also quickly burning out.
