Beep beep!!

A little levelling off in the weather department.  All week it was cool to cold but consistent which is nice but, we need rain!!!  Nights were cold, high 50's to low 60's and days were low 70's, all nice jacket weather which I love.  I have so many jackets but rarely get to wear them because it's always too warm or hot around here. But as always, where is the rain, we need the rain.  I know it's not something we can work on or flip a switch but more of hope it rains sooner than later.  And also stays for awhile to fill up our water tanks and washing away all the grime and soot that has been collecting as the world goes back to normal and all the cars back on the road.  I guess staying nice and cool is good for now, it does save on some energy like not using the AC which is always the most expensive thing to run in a house it seems.

Weekly Update:
So gas pricing are pretty dang high and yet there is so much traffic!!  Obviously it's not affecting people as they are still crowding the streets and freeways and not doing alternative modes of transportation like carpools and mass transit.  I've always said I wouldn't mind paying more if it means less traffic but I guess EVERYONE is thinking the same!  I went to Costco and other errands on Saturday, everything was packed on the roads and that is no joke.  The line for gas at Costco was about 20+ cars for each pump row.  So obviously, it's not affecting people that much as they are still hoarding the roads and getting all the gas.  I just don't understand... everything seems like a contradiction and I preferred it when we were closed and there was hardly any cars on the road.  I only went out to do my 3 stops and came right home.

At the movies:
Holding ground at #1 is "The Batman" with 66 million more and now well over 200 mil.  On course to hit 300 mil within the next 10-days to 2 weeks. Solid word-of-mouth continues to keep this one steady.  Also holding on to #2 is "Uncharted" with 9.3 mil as it slowly declines.  New at #3 is BTS Permission to Dance on Stage one day event earning 6.8 mil.  Being a one-time event, did some big numbers across the country.  Drop down to #4 is "Dog" with 5.3 mil as it should pass 50 mil cume soon.  Rounding off the top 5 is "Spider-Man: No Way Home" with 4.1 mil as it closing in on 800 mil and should reach that before it's done at the box office.

New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one this week in semi-wide release (800 screens) is Radhe Shyam in the #7 spot with 1.8 mil.  Not a great number but we have seen worse.
