Gliding around.

I have to say our weather lately has been almost... perfect.  We did have a couple of days that hit high 80's but then the nights dropped down to the 60's.  However, the other days of the week were a very cool 70's and it was perfect weather.  The odd part is we did have a lot of morning overcast till around noon so it looked like it was going to rain (but of course it didn't), it just made it that much nicer in terms of temps.  And when it's cooler I feel like I am saving a lot on things like electricity and maybe even some water as I can use less of both.  And the forecast for next week looks to be just as cool if not a little bit cooler.  Ah, please stay like this Southern California, I would greatly appreciate it!

Weekly Update:
Have you ever noticed the carts at Ikea?  The wheels, it's all about their wheels, they are pretty dang amazing.  I am not sure how they do it but they just glide and pretty much in all directions.  If you have gone through an Ikea, the aisles are pretty zig zag but the carts can flow through them without changing direction you are facing.  So for example, you are going straight facing in the direction you are going and then it turns right.  You can just glide the cart sideways instead of turning it and it just goes so smoothly, it's kind of neat.  I just love their carts!  Silly little things make the shopping experience more enjoyable and also kind of fun cruising through Ikea in their fun carts!

At the movies:
Big numbers at the box office again and the rebound we have been looking for!  New at #1 is Inside Out 2 with a hefty 155 million to open.  Slightly above expectations and hopefully will carry through this Summer.  Slight drop to #2 is Bad Boys: Ride or Die with 33 mil extra and now just over the 100 mil mark as expected.  Climbing back up to #3 is Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes with 5.2 mil and continues to have a good Summer.  Dropping down to #4 is The Garfield Movie with 5 mil as it continues to crawl to reach 100 mil but will fall short.  Rounding off the top 5 is The Watchers with another 3.7 mil and likely the last time we'll see it.
