Early Winter?

RAIN!!!  We got some actually rain for maybe half a day but it was solid rain!!  It felt like Winter for SoCali but after about 3P it was bright and sunny but not hot or warm.  It pretty much rain through the night on Thursday into Friday and it was just so so nice!  I always say this, not enough and it isn't!  We are still in a major draught and this little bit of rain is about enough to clean off the first layer of smog dust or dirt we have.  I just like it because it smelled so nice and clean plus a few days before we had some strong winds so this was a nice clean up from that.  Also the sound of rain soothing and pleasant to me.  It can sort of lull you to sleep but also during the day, nice gentle sounds outside.  The past Winter was extremely dry here so I hope this means or sets us up for a better and wetter Winter this year!  Heaven's know we need it!!

Weekly Update:
So what is wrong with people?  I encountered this about 3 times this week and all at different locations but people walking in the middle of the parking aisle.  Almost all the car spots are filled and there are cars coming from both directions but these people think they can take up the entire aisle.  All I wanted to do is get through, not park so I wasn't following them to their spot.  Clearly you can see the cars and some times they have a cart which I get they stick out a bit more but not the middle!  The aisle is big enough for two Ram size trucks to be side-by-side and still have space in-between for people to walk, yet these folks seem oblivious.  I know people have the right of way but I think that is intended for crossing the street and walking from point A to B, not point A to D to G to O and then to Z.  It's just a little courtesy people.  You aren't the only ones in this world and we don't revolve around you. FYI: pic is not mine.

At the movies:
Nothing shocking at the box office as the final Daniel Craig Bond takes to the screens.  Nabbing the #1 spot is No Time to Die with 56.007 million (yep, they reported that!) for it's debut.  Reports are mixed on this movie but should be fine, yet a struggle, to hit 100 mil.  Big drop down to #2 is "Venom: Let There Be Carnage" with 32 mil and now way past the 100 mil mark at 141.  On track to hit 200 at this rate but it will be a long road.  Dropping down to #3 is "The Addams Family 2" with 10 mil more and quickly burning off.  Hanging to the #4 spot is "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" with 4.2 mil as it continues into 200 mil range but not likely to go too much further.  Rounding off the top 5 is "The Many Saints of Newark" with 1.4 mil and likely the last we see of this one.

New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one this week coming in at #7 is Lamb with only 1 mil to open on nearly 2000 screens, not a great average and will quickly lose those.
