everybody FREEZE
It sure feels like Winter is upon us! This past week was probably the first full week of very cold weather here. It didn't get any where past 75 degrees during the day and at night as low as 44 I believe. It feels like Winter or the start of it at least for here... bring on the jackets! Though we don't get snow here (VERY RARE), we do so it in the mountains all the time and I'm sure once the rains start, the snowy covered mountains will be with us again (not my picture). I wonder how long this Winter-like season will last this time. Last time it went into May and it was so nice. Saves me a lot on my electric bill because my number 1 expense for power is the AC. When I have to use it, it triples to quadruples my eclectic bill for a month so I'm good not using it anymore for the rest of this year please.
Weekly Update:
The Amazon Fresh store near me had a Grand Re-Opening... I didn't know they had closed? I haven't been inside the "new" reopened location yet but the outside looks exactly the same except for that sign that says re-grand opening. I don't recall it ever being closed, if they did close it. Amazon Fresh is an interesting place... always more workers than shoppers there. Prices are overall higher on most things but you can find the deals if you really shop and look. I wonder if they finally did something with their butcher area? They had closed it and everything went to pre-packaged which is fine to be honest. I guess I need to take a visit and check things out again soon.
At the movies:
New at #1 for the holiday season is Red One with 34.1 million. Mixed reviews on this one but the 2nd weekend will be the big one to tell us how it will do overall. Drop down to #2 is Venom: The Last Dance with 7.4 mil more and it will continue to slide down as we get further into the holidays. Down to #3 is Best Christmas Pageant Ever with 5.4 mil extra and will continue to drop. Holding at #4 is Heretic with 5.2 mil and still overall not bad numbers for a thriller at this time. And still hanging on at #4 is The Wild Robot with an extra 4.3 mil as it continues to perform well overall.
New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one this week on just 250 screens is Hello, love, Again at #8. Per screen it only did about 9k which won't be enough to hold it long.
