Brrrrr

Daylight Saving Time Edition

Sunday was rolled our clocks back an hour, some say you get an extra hour of sleep but to me, I didn't really notice a thing other than the sun wasn't up as early and is setting much sooner.  But even if we didn't change our clocks back, it would still do that because of the angle of the Earth to the Sun during this time of year.  I know Daylight Saving Time (DST) bothers a lot of people but I do not mind it at all.  I actually do not mind when we "spring" forward an hour in the Spring and lose an hour of sleep... again it's something I don't really notice losing or gaining.  When I was much younger, I did notice it more and I'm not sure why that is changed, perhaps it just that I may not care as much and most of my devices that have the time change it automatically for me.  Or the clock by my bed just has a button that says DST and I press it twice a year, done.  But as we go into Winter time, it will get colder and darker more regardless of any time change.

Weekly Update:

Was expecting some rain this week but ended up having none!  It was pretty cold though, every night and in the AM it stayed around 51 degrees till maybe 8AM and then it would slowly rise up into the 60's.  Most of our highs during the day were low 70's so it definitely was jacket weather again which I love.  I have so many jackets and if it's already this cold now, hopefully that means this Winter will be freezing and wet, we need rain desperately here.  And the cold last at least through May, hope that is the case again or mostly... as I always say, it's easier to warm up than to cool down... and also cheaper!

At the movies:

Holding onto #1 for a 2nd week in a row is Venom: The Last Dance with another 26.1 million and now a 10-day total of 90 mil.  Should hit the 100 mil mark probably in a day or two. Going up the charts to #2 is The Wild Robot with 7.6 mil extra and continues to do well overall.  Drop down to #3 is Smile 2 with 6.8 mil and it slowly slows down.  Drop down to #4 is Conclave with 5.3 mil and is pretty much done overall.  New at #5 is Here with 5 mil and here today, gone tomorrow.

New movies that did not make the top 5:
Two movies in a more limited release pattern opened this week.  At #8 is Singham Again with almost 800 screens and brought in 2.1 mil.  At #10 is Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. also just under 800 screens, bringing in 2.1 mil as well.
