So the week started VERY hot and super dry.  So dry it was below 7% humidity and I could feel everything getting chapped.  My lips, hands, nose, all of it!  My skin started to get super red and easily scabby from scratching it with no moisture.  I didn't use lotion as I should have or simply just forgot.  But then the weekend ended with some very cool, even cold weather!  I hope this finally means a change from our fire/Summer season to Fall!  Not to mention we had some more serious fires lately as well north of Los Angeles again.  You just knew it was coming with all those factors starting up: 1) hot 2) extremely dry and 3) winds which all equal fires.  And sure enough, we did in the hills that threatened many homes.  I am unsure if any where caught this time around in those fires but I certainly hope not.

Weekly Update:

This past week I feel like I spent a lot of time at the Disneyland.  Had some people from out of town visiting and though I tried to catch them both on the same night after work, I couldn't.  So I went back again the following night and hung out with different people.  It is always interesting seeing people see Disneyland for the first time.  Hearing what they liked (or didn't like) and experiences they had.  What is interesting is both of these parties came from Florida and work at Walt Disney World.  They both seemed to enjoy the more confined space of Disneyland over World and just simply walking across the way to the other park.  One thing they both did say was amazing was a tour.  It is a tour based on Walt himself and walking in his footsteps that also takes them to his private apartment in the park where he would stay and relax if he wanted to with family and friends.  Walt never got to see the completion of Disney World and thus he has only walked around and through the castle at Disneyland.  His legacy is surely more here than over there and everyone knows that and feels it.

At the movies:

Regaining control at #1 is "Joker" earning an extra 18.9 million and now close to 300 mil cume.  On track to surpass that number and should reach that in in the next couple of weeks or less.  Drop down to #2 is "Maleficent: Mistress of Evil" with another 18.5 mil as it crawls to reach 100 mil cume.  Back up to #3 is "The Addams Family" with 11.7 mil more as it also tries to reach 100 mil but unlikely it will.  Hanging on to the #4 spot is "Zombieland 2: Double Tap" with 11.6 as this one is quickly tapping out.  Rounding off the top 5 is Countdown with 9 mil to open and close to expectations.

New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one this week as Black and Blue comes in at #6 with only 8.3 mil to open.  Below expectations however not surprising on this film.
