RAIN ... again.  So they promised us 2 or 3 days of heavy rain and it did rain, just not heavy and not for 2 or 3 days.  More like less than a day total and it was just light to medium.  So, where did it go?  Mountains continue to be covered but I have no idea if they received more or not because at this distance it looks the same.  Did it go inland?  Which is good too because they need rain having more crops.  But ... where did it go?  Heard reports of mass down pours in Los Angeles but then it never showed up here.  Some very light showers ... I wanted mass rain!!!  So sad, was set up to hunker down inside and enjoy doing nothing but instead ... some rain, mostly sunning skies and cool temperatures.  I know I know, that sounds like great weather but not for me.

 Weekly Update:
Had a couple of events this past week and both on the same day.  Nothing but still a little fun and a nice break.  The first event was just an outing to Disneyland on Thursday morning and it was cool.  Got to check out the new Soarin' ride and eventually did a little Midway Mania.  Then ended up staying there for lunch and went to Disneyland for that at the Mexican place.  It was a lot of food, more than expected.  Later on that night, went back to California Adventure to help with the Minnie's Moonlight Madness event.  This was fun to watch as teams of four (tied together) go around the park and tries to figure out clues.  So I helped with the first clue set called Scatter Clues.  You have about 400 teams times 4 people per team so when they start the "race" they go to different clues in the park to start before they go the main clue center to get the next clue.  This way not all 400 teams are going to the same clue center and kind of breaks it up.  Pretty good idea and it was fun but ran late.  I think I got home around 1AM.

 At the movies:
No surprises this weekend as "The Lego Batman Movie" continues at #1 with an extra 34.2 million and just shy of 100 mil for its first 10-days.  Should get to that mark sometime tomorrow though.  Holding at #2 is "Fifty Shades Darker" with 24.2 mil more and also close to 100 mil cume, should get that by end of day tomorrow if not sooner.  New at #3 is The Great Wall with 18.1 mil and slightly below expectations.  They did a lot of promotions for this film but appears it didn't really pay off.  Holding at #4 is "John Wick: Chapter 2" with 16.5 mil and this film does have pretty good reviews and reactions.  New at #5 is Fist Fight with 12 mil to open and right around exceptions.

New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one this week as A Cure for Wellness comes in at #10 with only 4.2 mil.  Pretty much as expected and no cure to save this film into going further.
