Let it hail, let it hail, let it hail

SNOW!!!  Ok not really but it felt pretty dang close.  On Tuesday night it started lightning and thundering and it was freezing (just below 40 degrees) and started to rain!  But then the rain turned into hail and it was so nice!  But, it only lasted maybe 20 to 30 minutes and then it all stopped, even the rain. But it was pretty cool (literally) because everything was covered in the hail that it almost looked like a lightly snow covered slopes, grass and a bunch of cars.  It was pretty different to see and fun at the same time. It was almost like having more than one season here in Southern California! At least it was still water coming down, but again NOT ENOUGH!  Not that we can control how that works but things we do are affecting our weather patterns and more. I fear this is all leading to another dry and hot Summer, again. At least it's been cold at night so it feels like night!

Weekly Update:
It is interesting how meetings now are mostly through online venues such as Zoom.  It has allowed people from further areas stay connected more and easier which is nice.  But it also seems like it gives people the ability to set up meetings but not attend and expect you to be there for them... THAT is annoying.  Someone has been setting up all these meetings with people and either doesn't say anything or comes in later or doesn't come in at all... why am I conducting these meetings I didn't set up?  A bit annoying.

At the movies:
Swinging into #1... Uncharted with a hefty 44.2 million for this holiday weekend.  Very solid number but week 2 will determine how far it will go.  Also new at #2 is Dog with 15.1 mil and a reasonable number for this family film.  Coming back up to #3 is "Spider-Man: No Way Home" with another 7.2 mil and now hitting 770 mil domestic box office.  Big drop down to #4 is "Death on the Nile" with 6.3 mil and floating out.  Rounding off the top 5 is "Jackass Forever" with 5.2 mil and should be bumped out by next week.

New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just 1 this week as The Cursed comes in at #10 with 1.7 mil and a very poor opening.

"You wanna know the thing about you that makes you special? It's not the singing or the dancing or the way you threw the ball.  It's that you could move people." - Dot-Marie Jones as Shannon Beiste in the TV show "Glee."
