Saturday night / Sunday morning was the end of Daylight Saving Time.  Which means we fall back an hour at the stroke of midnight and then wait for midnight to happen again ... OR, you wait till 1 AM and then get anothe... wait, either way you get two midnights!  But what this one is known best for?  An extra hour of sleep!  The nights will come sooner around 5PM but the sun will rise later, around 6AM.  The time of daylight is shorter and thus farmers adjust their times with crops and feeding.  A lot of people do not like it but they also forget this is for farming and helping them.  I mean without farms, we can't survive or maybe we can but will complain and struggle.

 Weekly Update:
Oh so I went to the parks again for a quick stop and to pick up these neat Halloween name tags for 2019.  Yes, I know, I got them AFTER Halloween and they are date specific but hey, they were only $8 each and have Lock, Shock and Barrel on them from "A Nightmare Before Christmas" at the top.  I never planned on wearing it while at work but thought it was a cool keepsake for just being around for Halloween 2019 and everything themed for Oogie Boogie related stuff.  Plus not everyone will get one, just those who paid for it and who even knew about them.  Most name tags like the 60th Celebration were made for the entire Disneyland cast members so everyone who worked that year got one.  So, why not and now I will be on the look out for future ones because they are kind of neat.

 At the movies:
New month new #1!  Taking the box office crown is Terminator: Dark Fate with only 29 million to open.  A very disappointing number as expectations (and tracking) were pointing double or triple that.  I think this is the final sign that this franchise is done.  Slight drop to #2 is "Joker" with another 13.9 mil and just shy of 300 mil cume.  It should get that by sometime tomorrow.  Down to #3 is "Maleficent: Mistress of Evil" with 12.2 mil more and struggling to reach 100 mil cume.  New at #4 is Harriet with 12 mil to open and slightly above expectations but not by much.  Rounding off the top 5 is "The Addams Family" with another 8.5 mil and still performing in it's 4th week.

 New movies that did not make the top 5:
Two this week ... At #9 is Motherless Brooklyn with 3.7 to open and no surprises here.  New at #10 is Arctic Dogs with 3.1 mil and also no surprises as well.

Facts & Tips:
The average person takes 23,000 breaths a day.

"There are some things success is not. It's not fame. It's not money or power. Success is waking up in the morning so excited about what you have to do that you literally fly out the door. It's getting to work with people you love. Success is connecting with the world and making people feel. It's finding a way to bind together people who have nothing in common but a dream. It's falling asleep at night knowing you did the best job you could. Success is joy and freedom and friendship. And success is love." - Kay Panabaker as Jenny Garrison in "Fame."
