Native wildlife molests the guests for food

I made a lot of friends all day, mainly by striking up conversations with people I was in line with. I think I talked with someone in every line I waited in, and it made the wait seem so much shorter... a family with two little girls who had never been to Epcot before, a couple who's lived in the area for six years, a guy whose fourteen-year-old daughter passed up a ride on Test Track because it looked too intense for her, a fireman who drives a pumper truck ("I drove a hook-and-ladder once, but it was just too topheavy"), a guy from New York who once helped a handicapped kid get an autograph from one of the walkarounds. People are good.

The weather wasn't as bad as I had been expecting. It was warm, but more than that it was humid, so that I wasn't hot so much as just sweltering... but even that wasn't all too terrible. Not comfortable (I stopped into the air-conditioned buildings from time to time), but not terrible. I knew that people would dress down to beat the heat, but I wasn't expecting just how far they'd go. Lots of guys without shirts, lots of gals of all ages in bikinis that didn't leave much to the imagination. They did seem nice and cool...

I finally got a good monorail photo! Under the track to the left is the earthly remains of Horizons, and the silver rounded building to the right is Test Track.

Here's that bird again, but now he wants to fly to Saturn. (Presumably with the secret data he collected from spying on me all day.)

Uh-oh, I hope those aren't rainclouds...
