A drop is still a drop

We got rain!! Ok, just for one day... ok, just for a few hours... ok, maybe an hour but we still got some rain finally!  At least when we do get rain, even a little bit, it brings with it cooler temperatures because we have been getting Summer-like weather a lot lately and it's barely Spring.  What should bein the 50's and 60's is consistently in the high 80's to mid-70's  so very unseasonal warmth.  And the lack of rain is not helping our draught. This is the 2nd year in a row but last year wasn't as hot but still dry.  So the less amount of rain this year, the higher temperatures we have been getting, this is adding up very badly in general.  I think states who get regular rain fall are also seeing a decline in the amount of water they get per year.

Weekly Update:
It's funny how when you order some food that comes with a certain number of pieces and when you find an extra piece, it's like you won the lottery and discovered heaven all in one.  But when you are short a piece, you go ballistic like the word is about to end. Great example is a 6-piece chicken nuggets from McDonald's and if you get a 7th nugget, you won the fast food lottery of all time!  You don't care how it got there but you are 100% happy it showed up some how.  But on the flip-side, you only get 5-pieces and you are furious that the one nugget never made and you are immediately calling them or writing the corporate office as to why something like a missing nugget happened in the first place!  It is like all the systems that make the world function just all of a sudden shut down.  Funny how plus one piece can make your world but minus a piece shuts it down.

At the movies:
Holding the crown for it's 2nd week is The Super Mario Galaxy Movie with an extra 69 million, now hitting over 300 mil cume!  At this rate, it could get to 400 in about 2 more weeks but it should get there in time.  Also holding for another week at #2 is Project Hail Mary with 24.6 mil as it continues to make its way to 300 mil but will require more time to get there. No movement at #3 as The Drama keeps it spot and earns 8.7 mil with very little change.  Though it's not doing huge numbers, it still is doing very well. New at #4 is You, Me & Tuscany with 8 mil to open and likely will be a quick burn. Rounding off the top 5 is Hoppers with 4.1 mil as it quietly wraps up.

New movies that did not make the top 5:
In at #6 is Faces of Death with 1.7 mil and it was a decent wide release pattern, just not grabbing the wide audiences. New at #7 is Exit 8 with 1.4 mil but this was on less than 500 screens.  Still pretty low and will exit out of theatres quickly.
