It finally cooled down!!  In the latter-half of this week our temperatures finally went down to the high 70's.  It took awhile to get there because the start of the week still saw close to or slightly over 100 degree weather.  But we watched as each day got cooler and cooler.  Now, if it will just stay this way for the next 10 months, I will be happy.  We also had some great overcast and marine mist come in once or twice.  I love the mist because its basically a fog and makes things all eerie, just in time for Halloween!  No with Halloween being on a Tuesday this year, wonder if all the parties were done this past weekend?  Hope so as I will be out part of Tuesday for work and if I come home when its starting to get dark, stupid people come out to drive.

Weekly Update:
So it was a very busy week!  But the weekend was kind of fun but still very tiring.  It was the Stan Lee LA Comic Con (formally known as Comikaze).  Only went for one day to do some things there but got meet some new folks and ran into some old friends.  While also there got some pics with a few people:

*Gates McFadden - best known from TV's "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and she was OK.
*Bryan Johnson - one of the Comic Book Men from the show with the same name and an OK guy.
*Ming Chen - also from the show and a very cool guy!
*Jed Rees - from "The Ringer" and "Galaxy Quest," very nice guy!
*Tara Strong - Voice-over actress from many cartoons and super cool!
*Chloe Bennet - from "Marvel's Agents of SHIELD" and super awesome!

At the movies:
Not a big weekend with no surprises.  New at #1 is Jigsaw with 16.3 mil and right on estimations.  Not a lot on this film so it should be a quick burn as we wrap up October.  Drop to #2 is "Tyler Perry's Boo 2! A Madea Halloween" with another 10 mil.  Also dipping down to #3 is "Geostorm" with an extra 5.7 mil and this one is its own disaster.  Big drop to #4 is "Happy Death Day" with 5.1 mil and this day is over.  Rounding off the top 5 is "Blade Runner 2049" with 4 mil more and also out of steam.

New movies that did not make the top 5:
Two this week ... in at #6 is Thank You for Your Service with a small 3.7 mil to open and pretty much expected.  Showing up at #9 is Suburbicon with only 2.8 mil and below expectations but not surprising at that.
