If it takes three weeks to figure out they are "famous" they're not too famous!

hahahh...it just never registered. I never made the connection by the last name. The photos came out beautiful, though, so that was good.

I'm sure its here, but with 11 pages I'm not going to search through it(I might have even posted it before myself). There is a story that lives in MDI about Martha Steward who has a house in Northeast Harbor.

Martha was in the post office in Bar Harbor, and got impatient about the person two people in front taking so much time. Since she is so very arrogant all the time, she butted in line two people up and got in the front. The clerk said, "It not your turn, go back to where you were." At which point she said, "Do you know who I am? I'm Martha Stewart, and I shouldn't have to wait in line."
At which point she was tapped on the shoulder by some behind her. She turns and he says, "Do you know who I am?" Martha says, "Nooo...." haughtily. And he says, "My name name is David Rockefeller, and I wait in line just like everybody else."

Since David does live on the island for about a month every summer, and his ex-wife Sydney Roberts Rockefeller's main house is there(just an average everyday house by the way), I did find that this never happened. But when asked about it, David did say: "No I never did do that, but I sure would have if the opportunity ever presented itself." That made the story even better to know that it actually could have happened.

I do have two friends on-island who were bicycling on a carriage trail, and came upon something that MS was filming. They were careful to be quiet and try to move around it. Martha did in fact turn to them and say,"Can't you see I'm filing here? Go away!" That story is real.

I watched David Letterman one night when she was on (after the whole chauffeur who turned around in her driveway controversy).

They were discussing something along the lines of why the guy wasn't in some sort of violation of the law, etc...

She said that it's "hard to get laws changed up there."

Ya 'spose there's a reason for that? It's called, "If you look down your nose at us, expect us to A. not like you and B. tell you to go "plump flyin'" when you want to make life a little more difficult for the locals.

Stephen King goes anywhere he wants and is most generally left completely alone. Know why? Because he knows he puts his pants on one leg at a time just like the rest of us.
