We don't need sidewalks!

I was leaving the parking lot for Downtown Disney over the weekend and just going down the road when there was two ladies that went from the sidewalk into the street.  I slowed down and thought oh they must be crossing the street or something (it was at a part where it was starting to curve to the left).  But after of about 20-30 feet, they just simply walked down the middle of the street.  There was a completely empty sidewalk and mostly shaded too (it was in the high 80's that day).  What was wrong with these two??  So I eventually went in the oncoming lane and passed them and as I looked in my rear-view mirror, they were still walking in the street with other cars doing the same thing.  Wow, some people.

Weekly Update:
Shopping online is dangerous... Amazon is dangerous!!  It is so easy to find things you want (not need but just want) and at kind of affordable prices for the most part.  With a lot of free shipping if you buy over a certain amount, why wouldn't you find more things to get all that free shipping?  Having a wish list is also dangerous because it's a constant reminder of things you want (and some you need).  And once you think it's a good price, buy buy buy!!  With just a few clicks of the mouse, you spent X amount of dollars without realizing it.  Just have to remember, do you need it and if so, do you need it now?  I've had items in my list that did go down in price and also way up so if you wait, you know what it can eventually get back down to (if not less) and possibly save a few bucks with some patience.

At the movies:
Friday the 13th scared up some pretty decent numbers this weekend.  New at #1 is Free Guy opening to 28.4 million, a very solid number for end of Summer time frame.  No real word-of-mouth, just looks fun.  Also new at #2 is Don't Breathe 2 with 10.6 mil and below expectations after the success of the first one.  Drop down to #3 is "Jungle Cruise" with 9 mil extra as it quickly closes in on 100 mil cume for domestic.  It might get that within the next 2 to 3 weeks.  New at #4 is Respect with 8.8 mil and not bad for this bio-pic.  Rounding off the top 5 and suffering a massive drop (71%) is "The Suicide Squad" with 7.5 mil but it did well during the week and is nearly at 50 mil cume, could get that within the next 10-days.
