So cold and so dry!

Winter?  Where did all my rain go?!  It stayed nice and cold but all the water disappeared and now it feels very dry again. It is kind of funny to think of Winter and you think moisture, rain, snow, all the things associated with water and never it being dry.  Well that is what we are used to hear as the opposite occurs when it is super cold, no moisture and things like lips and hands can crack, well the skin anyway.  Our Summer's are dry but our Winter's are actually worse in that area.  It gets so cold there is no moisture unless we get some rain.  It sounds funny but that is how it works unfortunately.  I hope we have our version of a white Christmas Day and it rains, even a drizzle will be nice... just make it as gloomy as you can!  That would make it a perfect Winter... no sun, just gloomy weather.

Weekly Update:
Social media stories... can these either go away or give us the option to hide them at least?  On Instagram they aren't that big of a deal but on Facebook they already take up 1/4 to 1/3 of my page and I simply do not care of them.  If it's worth me watching, post it, I've seen some do both on Instagram and why?  At least on Instagram they are a small bubble unlike Facebook they are a huge block and quiet simply... annoying and intrusive to my feed.  Take them away, leave them on Instagram (since they are the same company) or give me the option to hide!!!  How hard is that to do?  I bet millions of users would rejoice in that.

At the movies:
Swimming into the #1 this week just before the holidays is Avatar: The Way of Water with a hefty 134 million.  Substantial increase from the original opening (about 66% more) but the rest of this year will be the big tell on this film.  Reactions are some what mixed but reviews may not matter with this one.  Drop down to #2 is Black Panther: Wakanda Forever with 5.4 mil extra as it continues into the 400's domestic cume.  Also slipping down to #3 is Violent Night with 5 mil and it continues to fade out.  Still showing at #4 is Strange World with another 2.2 mil and this film also fading out.  Rounding off the top 5 is The Menu with an extra 1.7 mil and likely the last we will see of this film for this year.
