Re: [Avid-L2] OT: Bill Nye sighting

Growing up in Smell-A (ok, Orange County, but I did commute to Hollyweird)
does give you a different take on celebrities. I went to H.S. with one of
John Wayne's kids (Kelly McGillis was three classes ahead of me) and nobody
made a big deal about it. I do still remember The Duke coming in to the
pharmacy where I worked in H.S. Here I am stocking stuff behind the counter,
when I hear that voice. I look up and there he was yakking with my boss. He
was taller in real life than in the movies.

Prepared me for working in the industry. It takes a lot for me to look at
actors (celebrities or not) and anything else but working shmoes. So do work
more than others, and most got paid better than me.

That's one of the perks of living the L.A. area... seeing familiar
faces at the grocery store (e.g. Ed Begley, Jr. at Costco), at the
corner cafe (e.g. William Shatner in Studio City) or in the car behind
you (e.g. Tony Curtis). Every time this happens to me I think, "yep,
that'd happen in Wisconsin" (where I'm from).
