Ouch that's gotta hurt...

It remained... HOT again last week.  And also humidity stuck around as well. When will this end! This is not our typically Summer or end of Summer weather. Again we have had temps in the 100's but usually 2 or 3 days, not a dozen or so.  I have no idea what is going on anymore in Southern Cali but I guess this is the proof that global warming is in fact... well, FACT!  We need to start reversing these effects or they will continue to get worse and worse each year and fast.  I don't know why people do not believe in this when it is happening in front of their eyes.  We have so many natural resources that do not cause harm to anything such as wind, solar and water (i.e. running water, not cooling water). Change needs to happen and drastically, more than just one thing here and one thing there.

Weekly Update:
I had two dentist appointments last week... one was for a prep for a bridge and tooth extraction and the 2nd was the actual tooth extraction. The prep day was  no big deal, the filed down the 2 teeth next to the one missing, quick and easy for the most part but then the extraction was for the root of the tooth still in the gum. Apparently the root of that tooth was pretty wide, wider than the tooth itself so it took some work and awhile to remove.  I didn't hurt except the pinches of Novocain they give you, have we not found a way to administer that yet where it's painless?  But it took a lot of prying and different tools (I kept seeing them get another plier-like tool and another).  Then it finally came out and I got stitches as well which will mostly dissolve. Anything left will be removed on my next follow-up appointment on Wednesday.  I hate dental work, just awkward position and of course it's always necessary because you have to eat and such to live. Folks remember to brush and floss, all I can say.

At the movies:
New and taking the crown at #1 is The Woman King with 19 million to open.  A generally weak number but for this time of year it is fair.  Could be more of an award run film but the box office won't hold it long.  Drop down to #2 is Barbarian with 6.3 mil and quickly running out. New at #3 is Pearl with 3.1 mil and this thriller-esque film will also come and go quickly.  New at #4 is See How They Run with 3.1 mil, another throw-away and could just be clearing the way for the October releases as that has become a new pre-holiday season month for movies.  Rounding off the top 5 is Bullet Train with 2.5 mil and just shy of the 100 mil domestic mark, should now get that in another week.
