Our nice cloud covered continued to stick around, I thought I even felt a little drizzle here and there a couple of times.  Still no full fledged rain even though the forecast did call for some, lies!  But again most of the day had clouds like last week and then later broke up and very sunny in fact.  Yet it still remained cool which was nice but not as cold as the previous week.  I had the window open a couple of times at night.  Did get chilly but not cold so again, nice!  Still wondering how long this will last and hope it continues ... I can live with this!  You know it is close to San Francisco weather but now I wonder if they are way colder up there if we are colder down here?  That would be kind of nice actually we started getting their weather year round because it is generally nice and cool!

Weekly Update:
This past Friday I made a trip back to ... Batuu!  The new land at Disneyland for Star Wars Galaxy Edge.  This was my third trip there as the first time was to test the new ride, 2nd time was a preview and this one was sort of  a fluke and ended up going again.  But this time I was determined to the light-saber experience at Savi's and now I have a light-saber.  These are crazy because they are completely metal.  The technology inside this thing is pretty intense and you can change the color of the blade (which also detaches) but they were out of extra crystals.  So will have to go back and get them at a later time.  It is truly an amazing and immersed place!

At the movies:
No surprise at the box office as Toy Story 4 takes the crown with 118 million to open.  Overall on target but among industry projections it under performed. The big tell will be this coming weekend and how much of a drop it suffers.  In at #2 is Child's Play with 14.1 mil and also right on expectations.  Not a lot on this film so could be left outside in the rain.  Drop down to #3 is "Aladdin" with another 12.2 mil as it continues to slowly reach 300 mil cume but should get it without problem.  Bigger drop to #4 is "Men in Black International" with 10.8 mil as it quickly goes down.  Rounding off the top 5 is "The Secret Life of Pets 2" with 10.3 mil as it surpasses the 100 mil cume mark.

New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one this week as Anna comes in at #11 with only 3.5 mil to open.  Oddly enough not surprising.
