Cool cool cool cool

NOW we are starting to feel some Summer temps!  I don't want to say it's about time because I have enjoyed all the gloom and cool to cold weather thus so far!  I have always said, easier to warm up than to cool down... or basically cheaper to warm up than to cool down.  But end of the week we had warmer temps and sunny weather.  I think Friday was the first day in at least 2 to 3 weeks that the sun came out in the morning.  Lately it hasn't shown up till mid to late afternoon.  Despite it only being in the low 70's, it sure felt warmer because of no breezes but also, I wonder if my overall body temperature has now gotten accustomed to being colder?  The short distance forecast continues to call for low 70's but am I going to melt if it reaches... 75?!?

Weekly Update:
Not a whole lot happened this week other than the odd weather patterns which is not typical for this time of year.  Did the usual errands and oh, ran into a LOT of graduation traffic at the college down the street from me.  So what, it's California State University, Fullerton or CSUF for short, so what is college?  I have Chapman College and Cerritos College but then you have USC and CSUF... what is the difference? One description online says the difference is the size of the institution which I don't think that is right.  CSUF is big but I've been to bigger college's so it must be something else besides that.  CSUF has a baseball team but Chapman has a football team.  So, I don't know what the difference is.

At the movies:
Swinging into #1 this week for its debut is Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse with a hefty 120.5 million!  Very solid number and about on track with expectations as it was also graduation week for a lot of schools.  Should be a good Summer for this one.  Drop down to #2 with a below-average drop (which is good!) is The Little Mermaid With 40.6 million more and now shy of 200 mil.  It should get that by mid to end of this week.  New at #3 is The Boogeyman with 12.3 mil and not sure why they went up against Spider-Man.  Holding at #4 is Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 with 10.2 mil as it continues into the 300's but how far will it go with all the Summer releases now opening?  Rounding off the top 5 is Fast X with 9.2 mil and this will quickly fall-off the track soon.

New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one this week in a very limited on-screen event... in at #9 is Suga/August D Tour: D-Day in Japan.  It went on just under 1000 screens and did 1.2 million.  One-and-done deal.
