So the weather report said rain was coming this week ... it lied.  NO rain showed up and I was sad.  It was pretty cloudy but still would liked to have some water from the skies.  How is our weather so inaccurate all the time??  I've mentioned this before, don't we possess the technology to be some what accurate than way off?  I know you can't be so precise but come on, be within the ballpark at least.  I kind of feel like with our global warming situation (yes, it is true and if you believe otherwise than I am sure the world is flat to you too), it is causing not only this odd weather pattern we are having and not just hear but globally.  But its causing quicker shifts in weather and such. Is that why its getting harder to predict the weather or the degree of certainty is so off still when it should be so much better??

Weekly Update:
So in a couple of Monday's the biggest solar eclipse will take place that hasn't been in seen in decades.  I guess where I live is in the optimal spot for it but still will get some of its effects.  A  lot of warnings on how to view it.  I think I will just stay inside and watch it on TV later.  But what is an eclipse?  Basically when the moon passes in front of the Sun blocking it out.  We have them all the time but mostly partial ones or where we won't see in the States but other parts of the world can.  This will be one the US will get the full effect of it across from coast-to-coast.  Some will get it fully than others though but North America in general.  Should be interesting to see how dark it does get and for how long.

At the movies:
A new #1 scares its way to the top as Annabelle: Creation earns a hefty 35 million for its debut.  Above all expectations and good word-of-mouth on this film and might bring it to 100 mil, next week will be the telling factor.  Slight drop to #2 is "Dunkirk" with another 11.4 mil as it slows down but continues to get award buzz.  New at #3 is The Nut Job 2: Nutty By Nature earning only 8.9 mil which was expected.  Big drop to #4 is "The Dark Tower" with another 7.9 mil and a quick burn off.  Rounding off the top 5 is "The Emoji Movie" with an extra 6.6 mil and also another quick burn amidst very bad reviews.

New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one this week as The Glass Castle comes in at #9 earning 4.9 mil, not a surprise in this number and almost at expectations.
