Living in a Barbie world

Humidity commeth!  When did we become this warm with humidity?  I know we do get it but not very much but this week has had it higher than normal.  It's been hot and sticky, the nights have been muggy as well but cool if that makes any sense.  Been having the AC more often this past week which I am not looking forward to that electric bill, even at night.  Just because the nights were cool, they were still unpleasant for me so best to have the AC on also for the puppers and his natural fur coat.  Animals struggle the most in this so always have to keep that in mind and make the sacrifices for them.

Weekly Update:
People are so confusing and I don't want to waste time trying to figure them out but how often do you see something so crazy, you just wonder what is going on?!  Last week my Del Taco app account got hacked and someone ordered about $100 worth of food... immediately changed the password and removed my credit card from all my food apps.  But here is the dumb part, they had the food delivered (at 4AM) and so I have their addresses!  I went to my local police station and gave them all the info including the address of the ones who hacked the account.  That was dumb on many levels.  But, other stupidity doesn't end there!  I watched a car enter the wrong way on a one-way lane and cars were coming the opposite direction honking at this lady.  She just yelled out her window flipping people off when she was one car going the wrong direction while a line of about 3 cars were going in the right direction and because of the width of the lane, it's not like they can pull to the side.  Dumb.

At the movies:
She's a Barbie girl and we are all living in her world... no surprise at the box office as Barbie takes #1 with a hefty Summer 155 million to open.  Good word-of-mouth on this film and should carry to 200 by end of this week.  In at #2 is Oppenheimer with a solid 80.5 mil and should hit 100 by end of week.  This film has a very big run time so has limited number of shows available to it but also solid feedback.  Bump down to #3 is Sound of Freedom with 20.1 mil extra as this film passes the 100 mil mark.  Continues to out perform its expectations at the box office.  Big drop to #4 is Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One with 19.5 mil as it also crosses the 100 mil mark.  Unfortunately it looks like it won't be going to much further.  Rounding off the top 5 is Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny with another 6.7 mil and likely the last time we see it.
