The heat is on ... and not in a good way.  Ah how songs like that are so good and yet so long ago.  Originated from the "Beverly Hills Cop" soundtrack by Glenn Frey, such a great movie and by today's standard, a classic.  The second movie was just as good but the third not so much.  So it makes you wonder why they keep playing the 3rd one all the time on TV but not the first two?  I hope it doesn't have anything to do with how recent it because that would just be really dumb.  But the first one was the best along with the music and it is fitting right now with the temperatures we are reaching.  Still super hot in Southern California so the heat is definitely ON plus some!

Weekly Update:
I was getting gas the other day and two things I noticed lately ... a lot of the newer gas pump hoses have an extender so no matter what side your gas cap is on, you should reach it with ease.  I do see some older pumps that do not have it and you watch people struggle to get the hose over their trunk or over the roof of the car.  I even saw one person pull back out and go to the other side by making a U-turn ... they didn't realize by doing that, it changed nothing because the gas cap is still on the opposite side away from the pump.  People are amazing ... then the second thing I notice is when they undo the gas cap and then let it hang off the plastic chord onto the side of their car.  Don't they realize on the inside of the gas lid that covers the cap is a holder of some kind to keep the cap off your car?

At the movies:
Not an impossible weekend as Mission: Impossible - Fallout takes top honors with 61.5 million to open.  Right on target for expectations and word-of-mouth is very solid on this film.  Holding steady at #2 is "Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again" with an extra 15 mil as it climbs to reach 100 mil cume.  Big drop to #3 is "The Equalizer 2" with another 14 mil as it also tries to reach 100 mil cume but may fall short.  Hanging on to #4 is "Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation" with 12.3 mil as it passes 100 mil cume but its Summer will quickly come to an end.  Rounding off the top 5 is Teen Titans Go! To the Movies with 10.5 mil and short of expectations but not surprising.
