Living in a small farming community, myself, I have to say this is completely accurate.
Once when the "big city" news anchor happened into our grocery looking for coffee, we all pointed it out to him, while politely pretending not to notice he was "famous" and wearing make-up. So, you see, if it had been Superman, I imagine we'd have done the same, only more politely still.
I am grateful you have addressed this phenomenon, Shayne, it was a great "ah-ha!" moment for me.
