I have to say, our weather for SoCali is kind of accurate most of the time.  So the other day I was outside before it got dark, maybe 4PM so still have at least a solid hour of daylight and the clouds were coming in dark and heavy.  You could even smell the moisture and I checked my weather app and it didn't say anything about rain.  But the clouds were really dark and almost completely covered the area so I made sure the sprinklers were turned off that night and let the dogs out a little bit earlier than usual before bed.  Also made sure window's were closed and sure enough ... NO RAIN!  I guess I should trust the weather app but dang did it look like we were going to get some much needed water from the sky!

 Weekly Update:
So this past Tuesday night was fun.  Helped out at the annual Disneyland Minnie's Moonlit Madness event.  Now usually there is a sort of underline theme to it all.  Last year was about technology or cyber.  One time it was about musical or  Broadway.  This year ... I have no idea what the theme was or if they even had one.  Everything I saw was just Minnie and in her usually detective style outfit like she has every year.  Which is fine but I like how they generally develop a theme for it.  Kind of gives it a uniqueness to the year.  Another thing I noticed, not a lot of coordinated dressed up teams.  Previous years I would see dozens of teams in some kind of team costumes.  This year, only saw maybe 2 or 3.  Not sure why many decided not to do it this year but that felt like a big part of the fun.

 At the movies:
They continue to sing at the top as "Bad Boys for Life" holds #1 for a third week in a row.  Earning another 17.7 million, just shy of 150 mil cume and will definitely fall short of 200.  Holding to #2 is "1917" with an extra 9.7 mil as it continues it's academy run for a few more days.  Still in the top 5 is "Dolittle" at #3 with 7.7 mil as this one quickly loses holding and may not be around too much longer.  New at #4 is Gretel and Hansel with 6.1 mil to open and below expectations but not by much.  Very little awareness out there and this genre film at this time isn't a great combo.  Rounding off the top 5 is "The Gentlemen" with 6 mil and also will soon fade out.

New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one as The Rhythm Section comes in at #10 with only 2.8 mil to open.  Close to expectations too which is also sad to see.
