Renewed my driver's license today, which meant sitting in a waiting room with nothing to do for an hour and a half before paying my money and getting my picture taken and going on my way in under five minutes. They're super efficient, but there were so many people there.
And then I decided to head out to the CNE for the afternoon, which I had sort of quasi planned on but was wavering on account of the weather. It turns out that an overcast Friday afternoon is apparently the perfect time to go to the Ex.
a) there are seats available on the streetcar
b) there are no epic lineups for tickets, food, and everything else
c) you get a seat in the food building
d) you aren't constantly jostled everywhere you go
e) you don't get a sunburn
I'm totally remembering this for next year. So, as it always is, the entire purpose of the Ex is FOOD. Today I have consumed: hot wings, smoothies, fudge, hot ice cream waffles, cotton candy and mini donuts. Oh yeah, and I did some other stuff - you know, wandered the midway, saw some horses, pet some kids - but mostly it was about the food.
My stomach is sure to stage a revolution at some point tonight, but it was so worth it.
