(Boba) tea time?

Earlier this week we got a bit of a heat wave!  Temperatures went up to almost 90 but it felt a lot warmer than that.  Not sure if it was humidity or just lack of breezes or both!  The AC did kick in a few times when I had things set to around 78 to 80 degrees, it got that warm.  The nights though continued to satisfy and drop down to the 60's but they did feel a bit warmer due to, again, no breezes to be seen (or felt in this case).  Next week is supposed to drop down about 10 degrees but unless we get some wind, it won't really matter since that is what makes all the difference.  It does continue to be dry though and has been all year pretty much so I think that will continue through the season.  I just hope with how dry it is, no major fires start because of resources that have been drastically reduced on the federal level, a major fire would be disastrous if the last fire was bad with resources.

Weekly Update:
I'm not sure if I mentioned this before but there is a new boba tea place that took over a previous boba tea spot which they took over the previous boba tea location.  So... I'm confused, why does it keep closing and reopening as a new and different boba brand?  One thing I am happy about is they continue to offer the spicy Taiwanese popcorn chicken which is my favorite but the drinks are kind of different but the same, if that makes sense.  But again, why would you open a boba place after the previous boba place closed?  Here is another funny thing, there is a boba place across the street from it in an opposite shopping center and awhile ago there was another boba place diagonally across the street (but I think that has since closed but not 100% sure).  I know we are in a collage city/town but do we need that many boba places in a one block radius?  I mean maybe we do but I haven't really seen any one location packed or lines for days yet.

At the movies:
Soaring into #1 this weekend is Superman with a hefty 122 million.  A very solid number for a non-holiday Summer release and overall reviews are good for the film.  Hopefully it holds over strong for a 2nd weekend.  Drop down to #2 is Jurassic World Rebirth with 40 mil but now just over the 200 mil mark and well on it's way to 300.  Hanging on to #3 is F1 The Movie with an extra 13 mil as it starts to slow down a bit.  Still flying high at #4 is How to Train Your Dragon (live version) with 7.8 mil and will end up very far from 300 mil but still broke the 200 mark!  Rounding off the top 5 is Elio with 3.9 mil and likely the last time we see this one on the charts.
