the yings and yangs of weather

I can not even tell what our weather will be like anymore!  So this past week it was super warm (but at least not hot) and then super cold!!  The day time temperatures ranged in the mid to high 70's but no breezes.  So when I was inside the house it felt very warm and stuffy while the windows open.  However, when I went outside it was freezing.  Then at night it was a little of the opposite in that it was around 45 to 55 degrees but with all the window's closed, it remained about 70 degrees which was great.  I didn't have to run the AC during the day and no heater in the evening.  There were moments where it was super cold in the wee bit AM but otherwise, it was fine.  But going outside for one reason or another just threw me off completely.

Weekly Update:
I don't know why but lately I have had a weird craving for banana chips.  I like banana's in general but I saw a bag at the store and thought I would try it and I'm kind of hooked!  I mean it's just two simple ingredients; banana and sugar.  How much sugar?  Not sure but I hope it isn't a lot.  But these are tasty and I would think a little healthier than your average potato chip (though I am not entirely sure).  But I pick up a bag every time I'm at Smart & Final, their own store brand is good but they are also the best price I've seen so far compared to the weight.  I am not about to get my own dehydrator to just make banana chips so these are good.  Maybe in the future if I start getting into other fruits but right now, just banana is good.

At the movies:
The new first family maintains it's #1 spot for a 2nd week as "The Croods: A New Age" earns another 4.4 million and now hitting the 20 mil mark.  A new standard of benchmarks in this current struggle at the ever changing box office scene. New at #2 is Half Brothers with 720k which isn't a good number but also this time of year is usually poor performances as well.  Hanging on to #3 is "Freaky" with 460k as it struggles to reach 10 mil (again, a new benchmark) but unlikely will achieve it.  New at #4 is All My Life with 350k and that is all it will do.  Rounding off the top 5 is "The War with Grandpa" with 329k extra as it tries to reach 20 mil, still potential for it.

"Don't try to frighten us with your sorcerer's ways, Lord Vader.  Your sad devotion to that ancient religion has not helped you conjure up the stolen data tapes, or given you clairvoyance enough to find the Rebels' hidden fort ...
