Starting to cool off finally and how this Summer was ... full of humidity which is not typical for us!  Fires, yes, heat, yes, miserable, yes ... humidity? NO!  Just happy the temps have dropped, can open the window at night with no AC and the days are manageable again.  It really has been a miserable Summer though with the humidity ... maybe one of the worst because the temps would be in the high 80's or low 90's but feel over 100 because of that.  This is NOT normal at all for us!  This may be normal for Florida but our heat has always been fairly drive which is why we are always in a drought.

Weekly Update:
This was a pretty boring week with lots of no sleep!  Worked a lot but it was busy work, fell asleep while watching TV a lot which rarely happens.  It must have happened at least 2 or 3 times this week.  But aside from that, just a bored puppy, much like this picture I found.  He is doing what I feel right now with a side of tired.  I need more sleep though for sure but an extra hour a night would be nice!

At the movies:
Amazing numbers at #1 this weekend as "Crazy Rich Asians" holds on to the lead with an extra 25 mil.  That means it only had a 6% drop which is pretty much unheard for the most party as most films tend to drop 40, 50 even 60%+ depending on the competition and the season.  What also makes this pretty unique is the time frame as most schools are back in session and that usually affects the numbers, but not for this film.  Holding ground ... or water, at #2 is "The Meg" with 13 mil as it hits the 100 mil cume mark.  New at #3 is The Happytime Murders with 10 mil and well below all expectations.  This one will have a Sadtime in the end.  Holding at #4 is "Mission: Impossible - Fallout" with 8 mil more as it slowly approaches 200 mil and may get it in another week or two.  Rounding off the top 5 is "Christopher Robin" with 6.3 mil as this one wraps up.

New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one this week as A.X.L. comes in at #9 with 2.9 mil and actually close to exceptions.  This fledgling studio is starting to diffuse and could be closing shop sooner than they had hoped.
