Direct heat... GOOD!

HOT but not humid!

Towards the end of this week it actually got hotter (in the high 90's, some triple digits) BUT there was little zero humidity and that made such a big difference!  So with humidity it can be 80 degrees outside but feel about 90 with the air very heavy and you just feel so tired and weighted down.  With just direct heat, it was about 97 degrees one day but felt like 90 and breathable air!  Not heavy, not like you are trying to move through the air, maybe a slight breeze and it felt good.  Actually not hot at all as long as you are moving or walking whereas with humidity you feel hotter with each and every step you take!  So as long as we do not have that humidity factor, this heat is just fine and I can actually run the AC a little less or at least at a higher temp so it doesn't go on as often!  Humidity = sucks.

Weekly Update:

Ok people, you are back in your car after shopping and loaded up... LEAVE!  Found another pet peeve of mine when you are trying to find a parking spot at the mall or store (Costco!) and you wait for someone to load up their car, get in and then they just sit there... no attempt to move, they are just sitting in their car.  You have lines of cars waiting to find a spot as your local Costco has taken away nearly 100+ spaces away for gas lines (which is needed, they should have thought of that during construction).  So we have that many less spaces (actually it's more like 300 spots gone) and have to wait for you to leave so we can do our shopping and get in and out for the next person.  You see, once you are done, you leave, simple right?  Or at least I thought it was but you have some very inconsiderate folks who the world apparently revolves around.  I just want to park, get what I need and be out so the next person can take my spot... see how that works?!

At the movies:

Maintaining it's speed at #1 is Bullet Train with an extra 13.4 million as it is now halfway to 100 mil domestic.  It may not get there but it will come fairly close.  Holding at #2 is DC League of Super-Pets with 7.2 mil as it is also just over half way to 100 mil and at the current rate it will not reach that goal unfortunately.  Rising back up to #3 is Top Gun: Maverick with 7.2 mil as it continues to inch its way to 700 mil domestic... it may actually get there!  Holding itself at #4 is Thor: Love and Thunder with 5.3 mil as it slowly tapers off and will stay in the 300 mil range.  Big drop down to #5 is Nope with 5.3 mil but has already reached the 100 mil benchmark!

New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one this week as Fall comes in at #10 with only 2.5 mil for it's debut.  It was a semi-wide release with just over 1500 runs.
