Pick a side!!!

I was at Costco on Saturday and I have no idea what was going on but stupid people do not know how to drive!!!  In one parking lot, three different cars in three different areas were driving down the middle of the road instead of on their side.  Everything is clearly a 2-way street and they go down the middle when there are cars clearly coming towards them!  WHAT THE HECK?!?!  What is wrong with these people and of course 2 of the 3 happened to be trucks of some form or fashion (or SUV type).  You already take up enough of the road, you have to take up more?  LEARN to DRIVE you idiots!  I don't know what these people were thinking or doing in their car but Costco is not only a busy parking lot to begin with for a Saturday, you cause accidents and jams if you don't know how to drive.  Granted there are no lines in the road, never seen any in a parking lot dividing the lane but do we need one now??

Weekly Update:
Yep... Winter is over, well, it feels that way anyway.  This week the temps did hit 80 and that was enough for me to feel it.  No wind, direct heat and I guess my body just got used to all the 50 to 60 degree temps, anything over that is just warm to hot!  It was only hot for a little bit, maybe a few hours in the day but enough to not want to do anything except veg and try to remain cool.  Luckily I haven't needed to turn on the AC yet, just the house fan and some ceiling fans but I feel the AC will be needed pretty soon as we quickly move through May and it will be June before we realize it!  So now what remains is how hot will it get and how long will it last.  Our Winter wasn't very wintery so I feel like our Summer will be a scorcher.

At the movies:
Maintaining the lead for it's 2nd week is Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 with another 60.5 million and a very low drop!  Now just over 200 mil domestic, on it's way to a quick 300!  Also holding it's place at #2 is The Super Mario Bros. Movie with 13 mil more and also a below-average drop of only 30% from the previous week.  This film has surpassed the 500 mil mark and will struggle to hit 600 but reachable.  New at #3 is Book Club: The Next Chapter with 6.5 mil to open and a fair number.  Obviously were trying to capitalize on Mother's Day but so were every other entertainment venue out there.  Drop down to #4 is Evil Dead Rise with 3.7 mil as it this one quickly wraps up it's run soon.  Drop down to #5 is Are you there, God? It's Me Margaret earning 2.5 mil more and may be the last we see of it.

New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one this week as Hypnotic comes in at #6 with 2.4 mil to open.  Not a very good number with such a wide release and will soon be gone.
