hells_half_acreLJ is being stupid and won't let me edit - so I can't fix the spelling mistakes I made in last night's post. Sigh. For the record, I do know how to spell, I was just excited and sleepy last night...
Anyway, as a little follow up - I emailed my dad to ask if he knew Ted. He does not. He went to a different high school, and also very grumbly informed me that his hometown was not THAT small and he doesn't know EVERYONE. Fine Dad, geez.
(I'll have you know that the total population of the town was between 70,000-90,000 in my dad's youth (and that was actually TWO towns put together, not just my dad's town), and the smaller ethnic community that my dad and Ted's first wife would have been a part of was around or less than 14,000...and there were only like, three high schools, so honestly...it's not like it was a huge metropolis....and why does my dad always get me so riled up just by speaking to me?)
Still, I think it's pretty neat that I ran into a guy the same age as my dad from the same hometown! And Ted was super nice.
Anyway...is it Friday yet? I'm super jazzed about the new season. :)

... because 14k? That's more people than live in my entire COUNTY. I think the nearest "big" town has just over 5k residents.
Anyway. VERY VERY COOL that you got to spend so much time hanging out behind the scenes! And I do hope that bit with the car makes the gag reel--though from what Jensen said in that "Ten on Top" interview, they're going to need a separate disk just for the gag reel at this rate. :D

Date: 2011-09-23 02:35 am (UTC)Further apart and fewer actually makes sense, given Canada's geography, and possibly also its history--if, for example, there wasn't a need for towns to grow up every twenty miles or so to support a stage stop or trading post, or if people in those areas didn't stick around to ranch/farm once the railroad/highway passed them by. There might be towns in Canada with only one stoplight (or none), but you'd probably have to know where they are to get to them!
