This is a picture of a panda laying on a block of ice ... why? Because panda's have thick fur and are hot.  And, it has cooled down this week!!  We did spike once in the 90's but that same night it dropped down to low 60's!  The rest of the days have been kind of warm but with breezes which has made it much more bearable.  It almost rained once too so the clouds were thick but nothing fell which was sad.  I hope this is a turn-around now into our Fall/Winter and not a tease.  I've seen it before, one week nice and chilly, the one right after, "just kidding, here is your heat again!" Curse you climate change! Curse you!

Weekly Update:
I was at Costco the other day and one thing I sure do miss, the polish hot dog they use to sell at the food court.  Their regular hot dog is OK but nothing was better than the polish.  They do not even sell them anymore as a package which I sometimes would pick up.  I wonder why they got rid of it altogether?  So I had to settle for a regular hot dog and it was fine, not as filling with the polish as it was always too big for the bun they put it in and that was just perfect.

At the movies:
Its cold at the top this week as Abominable takes the crown with a 20.9 million opening.  Slightly above expectations and a good number for a non-seasonal time frame.  Holding ground at #2 is "Downtown Abbey" with another 14.5 mil as its now limited audiences have seen the film already.  Drop down to #3 is "Hustlers" with an extra 11.5 mil and it may break that 100 mil cume but could take some time.  Drop down to #4 is "IT Chapter Two" with 10.4 mil as it is now inches away from 200 mil cume, could get that in the next 10 days.  Rounding off the top 5 is "Ad Astra" with 10.1 mil as this space film is now lost in space.

New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one this week as Judy comes in at #7 with 3.1 mil.  Had a much lower than anticipated screen count being shy of 500 but the per screen average is also lackluster.
