As September comes to an end, so does Summer ... but not our Summer weather.  It has been cooling down but still a bit warm when you are just standing in the sun or inside with no breezes.  The breezes are what kills the heat and they have been very few.  But it is still extremely dry here still and fire season is still in affect as there is no rain on the radar as of yet.  However, we don't get rain during this time anyway and just more heat and dryness.  We are a desert after all so that is to be expected.  Can not wait for Winter, rains and cold ... I want to wear my many jackets for more than a day or two!!!
Weekly Update:
Another very busy week!  It was pretty much non-stop again and little to no relief in sight.  The work doesn't bother me but what does is when people IM you for help and when they say you can't because you are helping someone who used the correct course for assistance, they get mad and badmouth you ... don't need it or you so move along.  But between e-mails, calls, chatting ... it is a lot going on and I am just one person.  They all seem to think I am their personal aide or something but, I'm not.

 At the movies:
Tick tock a new #1 at the box office as House with a Clock in it's Walls brings in 26.9 million for its debut.  Pretty much on expectations and should be a quick burn.  Holding ground at #2 is "A Simple Favor" with 10.4 mil more and not much more to report on this.  Still creeping around at #3 is "The Nun" with 10.3 mil as it finally reaches the 100 mil cume mark.  Sizable drop to #4 is "The Predator" with 8.7 mil as this appears to be a fast burn too.  Rounding off the top 5 is "Crazy Rich Asians" with 6.5 mil more and could be its last hold in the top 5 after 6 weeks.

New movies did not make the top 5:
Several this week!  In at #8 is Fahrenheit 11/9 with only 3.1 mil coming in.  Very close to expectations but the screen count was way off, it was over double than expected which ... is not good.  In at #11 is Life Itself with 2.1 mil and also over double screen count with a box office below all expectations.  Finally in at #15 is Assassination Nation with 1 mil to open ... pretty bad with a 1400 screen opening.
