Wow I left the heat and humidity of Florida to come back to the heat of California. It was pretty hot here, low 90's to high 80's with no wind. BUT, the big difference here is our nights cooled down! We were getting as cool as 60 at night which was sooooo nice! Had the windows opened and put a fan by one to suck in the cold air to the room. I guess the heat during the day is bearable if the nights are able to cool us back down and we can capture that for most of the day! I wish we can store it like we can with solar energy and then release it at certain times ... there must be a way!!! Why isn't our technology this advance yet!? We can put a man on the moon yet can't capture a jar of cold air and keep it cool to use for later ... that would be an invention to save all of mankind ... ok maybe not but for sure me on a very hot day.Weekly Update:
I have to say, no matter if you take a short or long vacation, it is kind of hard to get back into a grove you had before. I mean the routine is disrupted and even sleep is different for awhile. But usually with time changes, that can very on the recovery. Going from a couple of hours time change to 7 or 9, those bigger gaps are much harder to re-adjust. Those are the trips you take an extra day off when you return to just get your sleep back to normal! Then get the rest of yourself back in the life and work groove again. Mine trip was short but I guess since I haven't taken one in years, it was a pretty big shock to the system and taking longer for recovery.
At the movies:
Holding ground at #1 is "Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw" for another 25.4 million and now hitting the 100 mil cume mark. This is running out of gas quickly but it sure did a nice benchmark. New at #2 is Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark with 20.8 mil and a little above expectations but not by much. Drop down to #3 is "The Lion King" with 20 mil as it slowly approaches 500 mil cume and may get that in the coming weeks left of Summer. New at #4 is Dora and the Lost City of Gold with 17 mil and just below expectations. Rounding off the top 5 is "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" with 11.6 mil extra as it also hits the 100 mil cume (barely) and should be out very soon.
New movies that did not make the top 5:
In at #6 is The Art of Racing in the Rain with 8.1 mil and as expected. A nice film but just not great for box office numbers. New at #7 is The Kitchen with 5.5 mil and well below expectations but not surprising either. A late comer to the box office at #12 is Brian Banks on 1200 runs and doing 2.2 mil ... considering no one knew about it, that number is actually higher than expected.
