Saturday night/Sunday morning was DST or Daylight Saving where we fall back an hour. This is always my favorite one because of the extra hour of sleep! I don't mind it getting darker earlier but in that same vein it gets lighter just a tad earlier in the morning. That is helpful when I have to go to the office and need to pick up the dog poopies outside. Makes it easier to see them!! But general, always enjoy this time, I guess technically this is the end of DST as in Spring is when it starts. I never really thought of it as an start and end time. I just looked at it as this was one event and here is a 2nd to compensate for that first one now.
Weekly Update:This past week was pretty normal I guess. The temperatures were very nice and cool to cold which I like. Started to use the fireplace again, its a gas one and you never really feel the heat as its going straight up but the flames are nice. I mean I am pretty close to the fireplace when I am laying down on the couch. I do miss having a wood burning one but I guess this is a lot cleaner and easier to maintain then having one with wood. Would be nice if there was one of each ... I need to invest in some outdoor furniture and maybe get a fire pit for the wood burning element I am missing? But dang, those pits are expensive for just a metal casing to be able to burn something inside it. So not an immediate get for me right now.
At the movies:No surprise but a big win for the box office, Marvel and Disney as Thor: Ragnarok takes top honors with 121 million to open. On track right now to do over 300 domestic but reviews are good for this one being a third film in the franchise. Slightly below expectations but still a great number. New at #2 is A Bad Moms Christmas with a distant 17 mil and also just below expectations. Big drop to #3 is "Jigsaw" with 6.7 mil and this may burn out very fast. Drop down to #4 is "Tyler Perry's Boo 2! A Madea Halloween" with 4.7 mil more. Rounding off the top 5 is "Geostorm" with 3 mil and this one is done.
