Weather all over the place

Florida got hit with hurricane Ian last week and it mostly did damage in Tampa and surrounding areas and flooded the rest of central Florida. Did not seem as bad as previous ones that I am aware of but still scary as it went into Florida as a category 4 (out of 5) and then as it made its way inland it went to a Cat 1 fast.  Once it reached the other side of the state it gained strength again and headed North.  Hurricanes are crazy things and I will never understand them.  Meanwhile in SoCali it remained consistent in the low 80's with breezes!  That is what we needed are the breezes!  Without them it feels so much hotter than it should be!  So hopefully that means the end of our Summer as we go into Fall (we don't follow the traditional season and time frames here anymore).  In fact it wasn't Summer but Fire Season and no we are heading into Summer and then Rain Season.  Just hope we get rain this coming year and into next as we can sure use it!

Weekly Update:
Funny how things pile up and you get further and further behind.  Just when you find yourself with time to catch-up, OTHER projects or new tasks show up that are either more important or get pushed back behind the things you need to do and then you never get to them.  I guess maybe this is where the expression is there is never enough time in the day... there truly isn't.  And because during the week you may be so busy, that when you lay your head down for minute to relax, you end up taking a 2-hour nap and not realize it.  How does so much time slip away like that.  I guess I understand what it is to wish more of me, more time to do stuff or just finding away to work more efficiently but... I feel I am as efficient as I can be.

At the movies:
As we move into October, a new #1 takes the crown as Smile earns a decent 22 million for its debut.  With the slate coming this month, hard to say if it will last in the top 5.  Drop down to #2 is Don't Worry Darling with an extra 7.3 mil as it slowly drops down.  Also dropping down to the #3 spot is The Woman King with 7 mil and though it's doing an average box office, it could still get some award buzz later.  New at #4 is Bros with 4.8 mil and I guess not all the bros came out to see it.  Rounding off the top 5 and still making money is Avatar with 4.7 mil as it comes close to 20 mil total.  That is 20 mil extra from a movie that came out 13-years ago.

New movies did not make the top 5:
Just one this week at #6 is Ponniyin Selvan: Part 1, it was only on about 500 screens and made 4.1 mil so the per screen was only 8200 and this will drop out in no time.
