Going Dutch!
Still pretty warm again and touch of humidity continues to plague us. One thing I have noticed is how green everything has gotten though from this weather. Despite it being super-hot, the moisture has brought us some crazy foliage! Usually our dry heat causes everything go brown and die. But this current year, our weather is so off and not sure why. I am not sure if it's better but right now it is definitely worse. The green is nice change but not sure if this will have other global effects later.
Weekly Update:So I've been watching Amazon for this dutch oven I have been wanting to get and I noticed, prices fluctuate SO MUCH. Not just daily but almost hourly! I didn't get it right away when it was $54 with free shipping because I was waiting on some gift cards for Amazon. And when I got them, the price went up to $76 with no free shipping. Since then it has changed from that to $59 with and without free shipping and back up to $70 - $80 with and without free shipping. In one day it changed maybe 5 times and I didn't know that was possible. It was kind of like watching an e-bay sale go on but instead of bidding going higher it would change up and down based on popularity or something. Well I have the gift cards and in no rush to get it so I can wait till it drops back down (hopefully).
At the movies:The new box office continues to grow slowly but surely. Up first at #1 is "The New Mutants" with 7 million. Not a bad number at all considering the limitations out there. At 2nd is "Unhinged" with another 2.6 mil. New at #3 is "Bill & Ted Face the Music" hitting theatres after being on VOD for 1.1 mil. New at #4 is "The Personal History of David Copperfield" with 520K. Last up is "Words on Bathroom Walls" with 453K.
