The daily temperature continues to peak in the upper nineties. Today there was a little less humidity and an inconsistent wind. At times it was uncomfortable outside.

I got yesterday’s errands completed today. Chief among those tasks was grocery shopping. Wednesday afternoons seem to be the wrong time to visit Walmart in this area. It was very busy and the checkout line was very slow. Watching the other patrons in the checkout line can result in a lot of fun speculation. What are they going to cook? How often do they grocery shop? How many people are they feeding? Invariably the folks with the most junk food have the biggest body mass. I am sure my purchases tell other shoppers things as well.

This evening I made another attempt to see the new drone show at Disney Springs. I got there at 6PM. This mid week day wasn’t as crowded as Sunday night, but it still seemed to be more crowded than I’m used to experiencing. I had already eaten at home, so tonight it was just desert at Ghirardelli’s. My Hot Fudge Sunday was very good.

I got in line for the 9PM drown show about 8PM as they started to allow people to fill in the walkway along the lake. Once again I waited about an hour in the second row of people standing along the guardrail. The show was delayed about ten minutes because of wind. I thought I was in for another failed attempt to watch the show, but it finally started.

Watching the show on YouTube was impressive, but in person it is even better. The scale of the figures in the sky and their 3D nature doesn’t convey in video. The same applies to the pictures I took. They don’t do the show justice.

The crowds getting out of the viewing area and then the parking garage were bad. I state down and watched one of the bands for three quarters of an hour to give the car traffic in the garage some time to thin out. Still, it turned out to be very slow getting home.
