The Summer is here!! Wow, we had several days in the 90's but overall it was high 70's to mid-80's. Nights did manage to be cool in the 60's to 70's but it did heat up. I wonder if this is the Summer that was delayed? I just hate using the AC because it cost so much using anything electric in California. Yet ... we push electric transportation? I just realized that, we are pushing electric vehicles and even buses ... yet it is one of the most expensive forms of energy here! Makes you wonder why one would actually get an electric car since they tend to be 10 to 20% more expensive than gas powered and they think electricity is cheaper than gas ... by volume probably is but not lately.
Weekly Update:
I've noticed all these "amazing" deals for places to eat during this pandemic but if you think about it ... the offers aren't anything at all. They have been free delivery ... ok, that isn't a deal! I never get delivery to begin with because for me to drive to pick something up is a total of maybe 7 to 15 minutes depending on how far it is. And the time and fuel really is just pennies. So the fact they are offering free delivery, is something I wouldn't use in the first place because of the customary tip. Most delivery charges range from $3 to $10 plus tip so by not using delivery on my own, I will not spend an extra $5 to $12 (including the tip) ... NOT SAVE! So these places need to offer food deals like 2-for-1 or get % off if you purchase x amount. Seriously, food delivery is not a savings, it's a luxury if someone wants to use that service.
At the movies:
Due to theatres being closed for the time being, no new updates for movies at this time.
The Classic Cinemas Ogden 6 Theatres in Naperville, Ill. Not as old as some other historic theatres, originally built in 1976 and Classic has owned it since 1996. Currently closed and on the shopping block with a potential Costco being build in it's place. It was originally opened as a movie theatre and until the recent lock down, stayed as one. It's fate is undecided.

"Alright you primitive screw-heads, listen up! You see this? This is my BOOMSTICK! The 12-gauge, double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line.
