What the holy hot...

Talk about the weather doing an 180!  It jumped to the 90's this past week and on top of that... HUMID?!?!  This is not our typical weather here!  One night it was cool but a thunder storm rolled in with some rain for a bit.  Now that is unusual and then during the day it got warmer and warmer and this is funny, the peak was around 3 to 4PM which is very odd!  And then it would drop 20+ degrees by 8PM.  I don't get this weather, this is not normal for us!!  I had to be outside on Thursday and oh man, I did a LOT of walking and in the heat, I was so tired and had to take another shower when I got back.  I think next week is more of the same in terms of temperature but not sure on the humidity.  That is the unusual part of this weather we are having.  The heat is one thing but that extra lair of stickiness... gross.

Weekly Update:
Normally I try to stay from politics in general but this week there was a big one.  Have the say the last 10-ish years we have seen politics like nothing ever before and for the most part, all bad.  SCOTUS (Supreme Court Of The United States) reversed the ruling on Roe Vs Wade.  What this essentially means is that abortions laws are now not protected on a federal level but states can now have laws to enforce that ruling and make them illegal in their own states. Of course other states can keep them legal and then there are ones who have a criteria of what is termed a life or what stage of a pregnancy is deemed legal or not.  Essentially, women now have no rights over their own body.  Now personally I am neither for or against one having an abortion but I am for women having a choice in the matter since it is their body and there are many cases which they need one such as a medical problem or in situations of being forced.  Everyone has a choice except women?  What is next, inter-racial marriages being outlawed again and prohibition coming back?

At the movies:
Singing it's way to the top, a new #1 takes the crown as Elvis earns 30.5 million for it's debut.  Not a great Summer number but a lot of award buzz around this film. Rebounding to #2 is Top Gun: Maverick with another 30.5 mil as it crosses the 500 mil threshold!  Dipping down to two-spots to #3 is Jurassic World Dominion with 26.4 mil, a decent drop but just now passing the 300 mil mark.  New at #4 is The Black Phone with 23.4 mil and fair number for this film around this time.  Rounding off the top 5 and dropping down a few spots is Lightyear with an extra 17.7 mil as it struggles to hit 100 mil but should get it in another week to 10-days.
