What R the Odds ?

What R the Odds ?

Let's ask this question a different way: What are the odds that
at various times in your life you will observe random coincidences?
Any one of which when perceived in isolation would appear
extremely unlikely, but when perceived from the larger perspective would be inevitable.

1.The tree service used by the DOT is routinely more observant regarding tree health than you had been until last night

2The work had probably been scheduled and the coincidence was that you only considered that tree last night.

3The tree was on the R.O.W. and was , technically the DOT's problem.

4It was some kind of Maple or a tulip poplar Ill bet.

Obviously, the odds were 100%--
given that the men were responsible to cut the tree and were there with chainsaws.

My mother died just over two months ago.
The last conversation I had with her revolved around a family joke
to do with lilacs. When I posted about my mother's death on the rainforest thread,
I talked about the lilacs and posted a photo of a bouquet including lilacs.

Yesterday, in the course of conversation with a colleague I told her
about my mother's recent death (I hadn't mentioned it to anyone
but my manager at work when it happened). I didn't tell her
anything about that final conversation.

When I came back from lunch, there was an envelope in my in-tray.
It held a card from my colleague. The flowers on the card - a
bouquet heavy with lilacs. I asked her how she knew about the
importance of lilacs. She didn't know - she said it just felt right.
I know firsthand how many variants of sympathy cards there are out there.
Lilacs aren't that common. Lilies are the flowers most often seen on those cards.

What are the odds?

U bring out a very good point, Rosborne.
When we vu a page with many numbers upon it,
we ofen see many very odd patterns and co-incidences.

Another way to set forth your counterargument is:
how ofen in your life do things not co-incide ?

I was working furiously on a proposal this AM. Ive been doing work from the camp and so my wife just snuck out without me noticing that she was gone. As I worked, I was getting a bit peckish. It became difficult to continue focusing on my work. I began thinking about the crab and shrimp toppings on a"Downeast Pizza" that one place in Calais makes. They have this old brick oven and converted it to a pizza oven, the kind with a wood fire that gives a nice smokey finish to the pizza. Im workin and thinkin about this pizza.
My wife just came home and she was in Calais to do some food shopping. So she brought back a lunch, guess what it was?????















A lobster roll, I love lobster rolls even more than crabmeat and shrimp topped pizza.



What are the odds that shed pick up the food that I loved even more than a crabmeat and shrimp topped pizza?
