Crazy drivers!!

Is it hot or cold, I don't know anymore!  It was supposed to be cool this past week but it hit the 80's during the day.  Now what is odd is that it didn't feel hot but it was very dry, fire weather dry and not a single breeze. But then at night, massive drop to about high 50's so now it feels like earthquake weather with these massive differences!  I don't know what is happening anymore and the forecast for later this week calls for rain which I hope is true!!  I can get more grass seed out then and turn off m sprinklers for a few days to conserve.  Please let it rain and a lot of it... let this be the start of the rainy season!!

Weekly Update:
I saw the craziest thing earlier this week and hopefully I can describe it.  I went to the cast store called Company D and there was a mini-van blocking both lanes of the parking lot drive way waiting for an handicapped spot. So I am sitting behind it while it waited for the car to pull out of the handicapped spot so I can can continue moving forward.  If there was room, there was plenty of time for me to drive around it but because this mini-van blocked both lanes, couldn't but that is not the crazy part.  So the one currently in the handicapped spot was finally pulling out and it pulled out going left so then it would then exit going right... make sense?  Hope so but you would normally just wait for a car to pull out, continue on it's way before you pull into the empty spot.  NO!  This mini-van instead pulls forward into the spot as the car who just pulled out was about to move forward, hitting the front side of the car.  WHO DRIVES LIKE THAT?!  Wait for the person leaving the spot to clear out and what is even crazier is the car pulling out wasn't 100% clear of the spot which is normal, you back up as much as you need to so you can move forward to leave, we all do it, it's common practice.  This mini-van even turned to the right a little bit squeeze in, so it clearly was in the wrong.  If that car pulling out didn't stop, there would have been an accident, I would have witnessed it and I would have 100% sided with the car that pulled out.  Some people have no patience or etiquette!

At the movies:
New at #1 is The Marvels earning 47 million.  Not a bad number but well below expectations for a Marvel film but also not surprising by industry experts.  This film will struggle to hit 100 mil, could get there but it will be a long while as the Winter films start heating up.  Slight drop to #2 is Five Nights at Freddy's with an extra 9 mil and continues to suffer heavy drops.  Following suite is Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour with 5.9 mil more and holding at #3 this week.  Potentially could still get 200 mil but it will be a slight struggle.  Holding it's place at #4 is Priscilla  earning another 4.8 mil and only suffering a 5% drop!  Rounding up the top 5 is Killers of the Flower Moon with another 4.7 mil and likely to be the last time we see it in the rankings.

New movies that did not make the top 5:
A couple this time, in a wider release pattern is Journey to Bethlehem coming in at #7 with 2.4 mil.  Likely will remain low and out drop out of theatres fast but the after market should do well for it.  New at #8 is Tiger 3 on a more limited run (under 800 screens) and earning 2.3 mil with a per screen average of only 3,000.  This will also disappear fast.
