Heating up ahead!  Future temps show us about to hit the 90s?!  We go from 60 to 90's in just a day or two?  This coming week it is supposed to get a bit hotter as well.  Is this the turning point that was supposed to occur over a month ago?  I was hoping for more of a gradual change then just an instant 30 degree spike.  Usually with these drastic changes, may cause the earth to shake below us!  Hope that doesn't happen either!  Our weather ... just so uncommon and unpredictable these days.  Some slight consistency would be nice, just one and while please.

 Weekly Update:
The other day I was at Costco going up the down the aisles, seeing if I can spot anything I might need that is on sale.  I turn the corner to one aisle and this lady starts a facetime conversation with someone but with no headset or earphones of any kind.  Of course they are yelling into the phone and everyone can hear their conversation at least with 50 feet because it echoes so much in there between the hard floors and concrete walls.  But even if it wasn't there, why would you do that with all those people around and not only disturb them but then have everyone listen to your conversation because it is so loud you can't avoid it!

 At the movies:
Big surprises at the box offices in terms of grosses ... the Summer is not hitting it off with a bang.  New at #1 is The Secret Life of Pets 2 with a sad opening of 47.1 million.  Falling way short from its predecessor by nearly half!  Unsure how this will carry through in the next couple of weeks.  New at #2 is Dark Phoenix with only 33 mil, well below all expectations.  This is the second film under the new Disney-Fox regime and so far not doing well.  This film will struggle to reach 100 mil cume.  Another drop to #3 is "Aladdin" with 24.5 mil but now has hit the 200 mil mark which is good.  But the magic of the lamp may be all out now.  Bigger drop to #4 is "Godzilla: King of the Monsters" with 15.5 mil and it also struggles to reach 100 mil cume.  Rounding off the top 5 is "Rocketman" with another 14 mil.
