And the heat is on ... it continues for another week.  Now with lots of fires in Northern California!  Appears thousands of acres in various areas have caught ablaze and fire-fighters are working around the clock to get them contained and eventually out.  With our drought still in affect for over 10+ years, it is only getting worse and worse as Global warming continues its damage.  More dry and warm weather year-round with less rain and cooler temps is making things more receptive to easy and quick damage that will spread.  Not a good time right now and fear that so much is now irreversible at this point and time.

 Weekly Update:
My stomach has not been feeling well at all lately but its not consistent.  It is very strange ... it sort of cramps up and gets really uncomfortable for a bit and then I am fine.  Of course there are several trips to the bathroom in that process but not sure what is going on.  Its been going on at least five or six days now but the only symptom is the discomfort.  No other things wrong like sore throat, fever, sweats, or being tired and achy.  So, very confused and whatever it is I hope it goes away very soon!  Also afraid to eat anything or eat much as I feel like it will just go right through me (ewwww).  Did I become allergic to something maybe?  But I don't really eat the same things all the time so not sure what is up.  Drinking something fizzy like 7-Up is good!  So stocked piled on that when it was on sale.

 At the movies:
No surprises this weekend as "Mission: Impossible - Fallout" takes #1 for its 2nd week earning an extra 35 million.  Now past 100 mil cume, it's on a steady course to break 200 mil potentially.  New at #2 is Disney's Christopher Robin with 25 mil to open and close to expectation.  Word-of-mouth is good but unlikely to bring in the teen to mid-20's crowd.  New at #3 is The Spy Who Dumped Me with 12.4 mil and also close to expectations as well.  Fair reviews should carry this film into at least 3x its opening weekend.  Slight drop down to #4 is "Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again" with another 9.1 mil as it closes in on 100 mil, may get it by the end of next weekend.  Rounding off the top 5 is "The Equalizer 2" with 8.8 mil also closing in to 100 mil, may get it in a couple of weeks.

New movies that did not make the top 5:
Two this week as one sort of slipped in there last minute ... up first is The Darkest Minds at #8 with only 5.8 mil to open. Below expectations but at the same time, not surprising.  Coming in at #13 with 1000 runs is Death of a Nation with 2.3 mil and given it wasn't on the radar ... that would explain the box office for it as well.
