Cold and rain!

Finally two of my favorite things arrived this week... rain with very gloomy weather and cold!  I like the cold as my philosophy is that it's easier to warm up than to cool down.  Not to mention much cheaper (like 300% cheaper) to run gas (for heat) vs electricity (for AC).  Last month, though I did use the AC a couple of times was still under half of what it has been.  Now, if this can just last for 6 more months or more, I will be happy.  I love gloomy weather, darkness and the cold... just a few of my favorite things.  Forget sunshine and happiness, we don't need that around here.

Weekly Update:
Winter traffic (or holiday rush) is upon us.  Sadly, people do not how to drive when it's raining or not, just traffic is bad.  I was in a parking lot and people were driving on the wrong side of the lane or straight down the middle.  Folks not stopping at stop signs, red lights or not moving when it's green. All common sense is just gone and gas prices were up yet it did not deter anyone from not driving it feels like.  I have always said, I do not mind paying WAY more for gas if it means less cars on the road.  If you think about it, the less traffic, the less gas you will consume because stop and go traffic will burn your fuel up faster than cruising at 50 to 60 MPH.  Well... it will only get worse through New Year's at least but I am sure it is like this in all big cities.  People have come out of their caves.

At the movies:
Continuing to hold the crown for another week is Black Panther: Wakanda Forever with another 17.6 million and now just shy of 400 mil!  It should get there by end of next week but does it have enough legs to get to 1/2 a billion when it's done?  New at #2 is Violent Night earning 13.3 mil for it's debut and not a terrible number in this lull week at the box office.  Dip down to #3 is Strange World with an extra 4.9 mil as it continues to quickly drop out.  Holding ground at #4 is The Menu with 3.6 mil more and continues to serve a bit longer.  Rounding off the top 5 is Devotion as it hangs on for one more week and earns 2.8 mil.
