Still cool with a side of extra clouds!  The weather continues to baffle me but I am not complaining.  Lot of heavy clouds this week but not a drop of rain that I am aware of.  It does clear up later in the day but it is very unseasonably cold ... I still think a big heat wave will hit us and be in the 100's for days if not weeks!  How long can our luck hold out?!  If this is our Summer, I would be so lucky and it could translate to an a nice super cold Winter which is what I like.  The Summer has only just begun though so time will tell.

 Weekly Update:
So I discovered a fire sprinkler in the house that looked like some rust was on it and part of the ceiling around it was peeling, a leak?  Had to call a company out to check on it because it is extremely specialized.  Turns out there was a hair-line crack in the metal coupling so it had to be replaced along with the rusted sprinkler and that was a big chunk of change!  Then I was wondering, are they worth having because if there was a fire then everything would get damaged by the water in this case.  It really is a no win situation in this scenario to be honest.  If not the fire then the water.  If not the water from the sprinkler, then probably the water from the fire department.
At the movies:
Soft weekend as it is Father's Day today but no one taking pops to the movies.  New at #1 is Men in Black International with 28.5 million to open.  Below expectations but at the same time nothing surprising.  Down to #2 is "The Secret Life of Pets 2" with another 23.8 mil and just shy of 100 mil cume.  Down to #3 is "Aladdin" with an extra 16.7 mil as it gets a bit closer to 300 mil cume.  Big drop to #4 is "Dark Phoenix" with 9 mil more as it now hits 50 mil domestic cume.  Rounding off the top 5 is "Rocketman" with another 8.8 mil.

New movies that did not make the top 5:
Two this week as Shaft comes in at #6 with only 8.3 mil and below all expectations.  Expanding wide was Late Night at #9 with 5.1 mil and everyone went to sleep already.
