The restaurant was full of birdcages and exotic birds. The motel part catered to super tall people - mainly basketball players. They had super big beds just for them. I wonder if it's still in L.A. I think it might have been closed because of the birds being unsanitary. <br />Love the photo of you and the big frame camera.North County Film Clubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13683794164957833415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36955857.post-16387790142532029612016-02-08T04:21:00.368-08:002016-02-08T04:21:00.368-08:00I never even noticed that tall man, and my husband...I never even noticed that tall man, and my husband is 6'4" so he always stands out in a crowd.

Yep, that song was always fun to sing. I'm also amused how we feel about our own height.

Tall people have the advantage of being able to see above the crowd and tall cameramen/women can probably get better shots without people getting in the way of the lens.

My son who is 6'4" and fairly thin, has found that the clothes that fit best are made in the Netherlands and Scandinavia countries, which he order over the internet. It happens that I played a Pops concert with Randy Newman just a couple of weeks ago. He sang "Short People" right at the beginning, I think because he wanted to get his most requested song out of the way for his better but less popular music.
