Informative Encounter at work.

I figured there was only one of me!

When buying our first house we found out there was another Mr and Mrs in Texas with the same EXACT names.

That's funny. My parents had the same first name (actually, hers was a feminized version of a common man's name), so she went by her middle name, but lots of people from our home area called her by the good ol' Southern tradition of both names.

Imagine my surprise some years later when I was at a car show and saw that one of the cars on display was owned by (the pseudonymous) "Bob L. and Bobbie Jean Smith"... it matched my parents' names exactly. I told my sister about it, but she already knew the people, because they were regulars on the car show circuit.

6,580 with my name...

I know three...

One is a former baseball player/actor...

One is a pro-wrastler dude...

The other is a former union president of the Houston Fire Department...

So I guess I'll shave muh head and blend in...
