3:15 for the impatient. But still watch the whole thing.

My wife has a superpower of recognizing faces. It’s fun watching movies with her. Years ago we were watching Blood Diamond for the first time. Jennifer Connelly appeared and my wife immediately noted “She was in Labyrinth!” My wife hadn’t seen Labyrinth since the early 90s, and Jennifer Connelly was 15 in one film and 35 in the other. My wife does that a lot. It’s downright spooky to me.
I’m very below-average at recognizing faces. My vision is fine, but my brain doesn’t seem to file memories of faces well. Parent-teacher meetings are hard for me because I often have real trouble telling who is who until they start talking - voices are my superpower.
I didn’t recognize Neil Young’s face in this video at all, and I’m a Neil Young fan. I wasn’t sure if that was him, or if he was going to appear later. But the moment he started talking, I knew.

I’m good at facial pattern recognition as well. When I was working pedicab in Austin many moons ago, there was a guy who had it like yourself, and would introduce himself to me every week.

I’m good at that, it’s just when I’m not expecting a face in person.
A few years ago we were walking into a restaurant and someone approached us and knew our names, he said hello and proceeded to talk to us about things like our business. I talked to him for a while but when he left my said “you have no idea who that was” nope.
It was the guy that’s been fertilizing our lawn for 25 years. We always talk for a while if I’m home when he comes by but outside that environment I could not place him.
I am very good at faking it though. Lately it’s gotten worse we think due to a stroke a couple years ago so I just come right out say I can’t remember who you are.
I don’t look forward to getting even older.

Even the transaction for the candle was long and drawn out. Remember those old credit card imprint machines and the carbon copy forms that had to be filled out by hand? I haven’t seen one of those in ages.

That’s me, I’m constantly introducing myself to people I have met before…embarrassing for me and it really pisses others off, lol.
Do we know where this was shot? Is it Pittsburgh?
Yeah, I felt bad about him having to deal with that all the time, so I would often just cut to the chase. “We’ve met, I’m Kelly.”
it should not have green eyed lady… it was yellow with black rings I’m telling you
