Was it hot?

I was not looking forward to the predicted weather this week as it said we were going up into the 80's and sunny, I thought that mean Spring was over and into Summer we go.  But, in fact it was very much the opposite!  Or should I say it didn't move at all, we stayed in the 60's, maybe hit low 70's and got some light rain here and there, just enough to cover the ground.  Also it was pretty cloudy a couple of days which was nice because it helped keep it cold.  I am not sure how come our weather forecast has been so off this week as it's generally pretty accurate, did someone forget to replace the batteries on all the weather machines?  Or feed the hamster that turns the wheel to generate the power or something?  So let's see how this next week goes... right now it's calling for high 70's with cloudy days.  Let's see if that happens!

Weekly Update:
I was at Costco again this week and I started to wonder, why would you back-up into a parking spot there?  For the most part, the spaces between the cars on the rows is very narrow where you can't event fit a shopping cart in between, let alone one of those bigger orange carts. So as I was parked, I just noticed the car in front of me in the next aisle did exactly that but that means when they load up their car (assuming the fill the trunk up first as most do), they will have to carry the items from the front of the car to the back.  The space between the cars is pretty narrow as well that you would likely scrape cars bringing a cart through!  I know there is one aisle in the Costco parking lot that does have that space but most of time it's filled with empty carts!

At the movies:
New at #1 is The Fall Guy with an 28.5 million dollar opening.  For this time of year, it's a decent number however for the big push on this film, a bit under expectations.  Week two will be the big tell on how this film will do in the long run. Re-releasing at #2 is Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace with 8.1 mil. Good number for a movie that originally came out in 1999 to less than stellar reviews. Drop down to #3 is Challengers with another 7.6 mil and not a bad drop percentage-wise.  New at #4 is Tarot with 6.5 mil and looks like a throw-away film to clear up the slate for summer.  Rounding off the top 5 is Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire with 4.5 mil and still on track to hit 200 mil before it's said and gone.
