4th of July EditionThis past Wednesday we celebrated the 4th of July. A celebration of our country's freedom from British rule but now just a night of firework shows that do nothing but scare all kinds of animals. Plus as a nation, we are so divided and broken that to celebrate just does not seem to be right given our current political climate. We are a national bully and have become so hated across the world except those countries that were our enemies and suppress their own people. We are broken and now fireworks are simply annoying and make it terrifying for our furry friends. I had to make sure the thunder shirt was on the youngest dog, windows and blinds closed, TV on load to try and drown out the noise that went on till the next morning. Tried to hold him for comfort but could only feel him shaking like crazy.
Weekly Update:A whole lot of shaking going on! So on Thursday So Cali was hit with a big 6.7 earthquake in an area called Ridgecrest, about 150 miles north of Los Angeles. It was a steady roll and fairly big compared to what we've had lately. Then on Friday we had three fairly noticeable quakes, again in the same place and it made if feel like one long quake. The first was about a 5.0 and then less than a minute later a 7.1 and then right after a 6.4-ish. With 3 big ones back-to-back like that it certainly felt like a big long one. What is also interesting is Ridgecrest, never heard of it till these quakes started happening. Aftershocks continue but all are under 4.0 so far.
At the movies:
Swinging in and taking #1 this holiday weekend is Spider-Man: Far From Home with a 5-day opening of 185.1 mil (3-Day 93.6). Very close to target for the weekend numbers and word-of-mouth is great on this film which should land it close to 400 mil domestic. Drop down to #2 is "Toy Story 4" with another 34.3 mil as it now passes 300 mil and on its way to 400+ domestic. Holding at #3 is "Yesterday" with 10.8 mil as it continues to sing a little longer. Drop down to #4 is "Anabelle Comes Home" with 9.8 mil and will soon scare off. Rounding off the top 5 is "Aladdin" with 7.6 mil and quickly losing all it's magic.
New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one this week as Midsommer comes in at #6 with 6.6 mil and close to expectations. Many were confused with the ad campaign and what the movie actually was.
