Wet and dry... at least not hot

It's dry again with some light showers.  The weather did warm up some this week, said it would be in the 60's but felt (and was) a kind of warm low 70's.  Was getting used to the 50 degree temperatures that now being in the 70's is hot!  Or very warm at least.  Next week promises several days of rain so hopefully that remains true but we will see.  Our weather in general though has been very wacky and not consistent from what it used to be.  Will it ever normalize again?  Probably not with the way the world is.  Population is back now that everyone is back out on the roads and you can see the layers of smog again... it's honestly very very sad.  Not enough is going into solar development and making it affordable and a standard, that needs to happen first and now!

Weekly Update:
Very busy end of the week for me and I was TIRED.  So aside from some daily things, Friday night (which was also Saint Patrick's Day) I had to drive up to North Hollywood for a small indie film premier.  It was at a small theatre but that drive was about 3 hours round trip, over 100 miles. The movie was The Disappearance of Mrs. Wu and it was fun.  I do see this more as a TV or streaming movie over a theatre one though but still good.  Overall good cast but it did make me want to visit Carmel in Central California some day.  I know it's a beautiful city, would like to visit it some day some time.  It was an indie film and very much felt like one.  It was done through Picturehouse which was nice to see their label on something again soon, been a long time.  I think this will only be in theatres for a week or 5-days and then on streaming services.

At the movies:
Flying into the #1 spot this weekend is Shazam! Fury of the Gods with a fair 30.5 million to open.  Below expectations and also down quiet a bit from it's predecessor 4-years ago.  Next week will be a big tell for this movie if it will be a hit but at the current trend, strong no.  Drop down to #2 is Scream VI with 17.5 mil and getting close to 100 mil cume.  It could get there but will be a long road for it.  Slipping down to #3 is Creed III with 15.4 mil extra as it continues to throw more punches. Down to number 4 is 65 with 5.8 mil and this odd sci-fi film should be dropping out soon.  Rounding off the top 5 is Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania with 4.1 mil extra and now just over 200 mil.  This road is over but at least it made it.

I like it that you give the details of how long and how much your drove to see the little indie film called The Disappearance of Mrs. Wu. Thank you for that!
