Make up your mind!!

Hot, cold, rain, dry, hot, cold, hot cold... this weather is so up and down!  Beginning of the week started cool to cold and it rained a day.  Then it went to warm to hot (hot being in the 80's but felt hotter with no wind).  Then it dropped down to 40 at night and the weekend in the high 70's.  This weather makes no sense for SoCali!  We may not have seasons but it's always been a gradual change from warm to cold, cold to hot, like a steady build up or down.  Just not used to this because I once had to run the heater in the early morning and late at night but mid-day, the AC! I am not looking forward to that electric and gas bill for this month.

Weekly Update:
USPS... you are an interesting thing.  I've noticed when I use their own packaging and say it's priority mail 2-day, it seems to get there in 2-days or less.  But, when I use some kind of random plain brown box or re-used packaging of some kind, priority mail can take up to a week or more sometimes.  Same price for shipping but doesn't come with insurance included, it feels like they kind of treat it less priority.  So USPS Priority box,, 2-days or less for about a medium size box about $15.00.  Brown box, almost the same dim weight, priority 2-day mail, maybe 7-days, $15.00 still.  It's nice their packaging comes with insurance included up to a certain amount but still, they should all be treated the same.  A box is a box.

At the movies:
Holding on to the crown for a 2nd week is "Uncharted" with an extra 23.3 million and now very close to the 100 mil mark!  Possibly could get that by end of this coming weekend at this pace.  Also holding on to #2 is "Dog" with 10.1 mil and barking along.  After 11 weeks, still in the top 5 at #3 is "Spider-Man: No Way Home" with 5.8 mil and now at 779.8 mil.  Holding at #4 is "Death on the Nile" with 4.5 mil as it continues to float along.  And with no changes this week, #5 is "Jackass Forever" with 3.2 mil as it crosses the 50 mil mark.

New movies that did not make the top 5:
Two new films this week that didn't fair to well.  In at #8 is Studio 666 with only 1.6 mil and not a good number but with type of movie, it usually boosts music sales so it may be good for the Foo Fighters in the long run.  New at #9 is Cyrano with only 1.4 mil.  Not a huge release, less than 1,000 screens but still a poor per-screen average.
