Here comes the rain...

Rain, finally some rain has fallen from the sky!  It was only for about a day but it was still nice and refreshing and the forecast says another day in the week but we shall see if that happens.  They said Sunday would be all day raining but that has not been the case.  But I hope it was enough to help the firefighters out and not cause any mudslides due to the ground being so charred and lack of vegetation now.  But, this climate damage and change we are in has to stop.  Even if we start doing measures to stop more climate damage, it will take years to reverse the effects but as it stands, we are talking decades to centuries in fixing it with this current administration in the US because all they will do is cause more damage than any other administration in US history.  Facts and science are real, not what one person things and makes up because it sounds right to them.  We can't keep surviving this windy and dry climate year-after-year and what could be month-after-month.

Weekly Update:
Have you ever noticed when you are a crosswalk, you push the button to signal the system that you want to cross... then, someone comes up right behind you and pushes it too.  Like pushing it more than once doesn't speed it up or make the system say, "OH more people, I better change now!"  I mean I wish that was the case of if there was like a ground sensor on the corner so it can tell how many people are actually there, hey that might be kind of cool.  But no, the button on the light pole it is and just hitting it once is all you need.  I can understand if someone hits it and doesn't hear a beep they hit it again because you aren't sure if you pressed it hard enough.  I've done that and heard the beep the 2nd try around.  But yeah, if people push it RIGHT after you just did, and they saw you hit it... why?  Is your pushing of the button much different than mine maybe?  Or the person behind you that did the same thing you just did after me?  Honestly, if I see someone push it, I will just wait and not touch it.

At the movies:
New at #1 is Flight Risk with 12 million to open, not a great number but usually this time of year is all about the award season and the start of film festivals.  Still holding at #2 is Mufasa: The Lion King with another 8.7 mil and steadily slowing down.  Drop down to #3 is One of Them Days with 8 mil and will continue a steadily drop as well.  Still holding strong at #4 is Sonic the Hedgehog 3 with 5.5 mil as it continues its overall box office dominance.  Reappearing in the top 5 at #5 is Moana 2 with 4.3 mil as it quickly wraps up post 400-mil cume mark.

New movies that did not make the top 5:
Several this week starting at #6, Presence with 3.4 mil to open on a semi-wide release pattern (close to 2,000 screens) and will be out of screens in a week.  Coming in at #11 is Brave the Dark with only 2.6 mil on a wider release pattern (2000+ screens) and carried an average of only $1, 151 per screen.  And at #16 on a very wide pattern is The Colors Within with only 378k, less than $100 per screen which is amazingly bad.
