Colder, cold, HOT, cold

In a twist of weather this past Saturday saw a small heat wave.  So Friday morning it was cold and it rained a bit, mostly drizzled.  It remained cloudy all day till maybe around 4 or 5PM then that ended that day.  Saturday, cold but no mist or rain but cloudy as it has been most of the past month or two.  Around 1PM, the sun came out and it heated up fast to almost 90 (stationary) but dropped back down to about 82 and stayed there for the rest of the day till night time when it went back down to the 60's.  It was quiet the rollercoaster in temps on Saturday but then Sunday it dropped back down to 60 in the AM with MAYBE 70 during the day.  We did have more sunlight though then we have had all month (or two)!

Weekly Update:
I know I've talked about this before and how naps are so underrated.  What is wrong with a nap if you are tired mid-day?  Now if you try to take a nap and end up sleeping for a couple or a few hours, that is no longer a nap in my book.  A nap is a quick sleep that is 60 mins or less but if you are that tired (or sick even) then if you go over, you are officially sleeping.  The tell kids to take a nap all the time to help with their growth, but I'm sure it's doing more than that.  I'm no doctor but recharging yourself or the ol "resting my eyes" has some truth to that.  Every part of your body needs some kind of rest and the older you get (or the younger you still are), those parts need rest for one reason or another.  So, tired? Take a nap.

At the movies:
Super quick at the box office is The Flash taking the #1 spot for its debut earning a fair 55.1 million.  Below expectations since we are now in Summer time mode and this could be a struggle to get very far... may be a quick burn out, pun intended.  New at #2 is Elemental with 29.5 mil which is surprisingly low but also, not unexpected.  I think with shifting more content to Disney+ may be affecting Disney's ability to win a box office week for a Pixar film anymore.  Drop down to #3 is Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse with another 27.8 mil as it's now in range to hit 300 mil cume.  Likely will get that by the end of this coming weekend.  Sizeable drop to #4 is Transformers: Rise of the Beasts with 20 mil as it it barely cracks 100 mil domestic.  Another sign this franchise is done in theatres but I'm sure merchandise hasn't been better.  Another big drop to #5 is The Little Mermaid with 11.6 mil and this movie is quickly wrapping up it's Summer early.

New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one this week at #6 is The Blackening earning only 6 mil with just under 2000 runs and... down and out after this week.
