How's the weather up there?

I was in the grocery store last night, and saw Rasheed Wallace. I've never seen ANYONE famous here before -- except once when Mark Hatfield was opening a new city park. This neighborhood doesn't usually attract anyone that has any choice. But there he was big as life, and I do mean BIG. The guy is simply huge. Not as thick as I had expected, but tall, tall, tall. Even I, big as I am, felt quite intimidated, and not by his behavior. He was very quiet, polite and civilized. Waited his turn, talking quietly to his friend, and bought his six-pack and left. In a HUGE SUV which was parked right next to my little Mirage. Gives me a new respect for Violet Palmer. I don't think I could stand up to 10 of that size at a time.
