Coincidence

1/4 Yesterday morning, I was thinking about persons I’ve known who I have not seen or heard from for 40+ years. I searched for some of them on the internet. Google AI mis-informed me that a few of them had undergone major career changes: One had gone from a degree and career in forestry into medical school and become a physician; another had become a freelance journalist in South Africa after I knew him as a forester and firefighter. But, in reality, neither of those career changes was true. Google AI had seamlessly combined the search results for different persons who just coincidentally shared the same names. Google AI also claimed that I worked professionally in Tokyo, though I have no recollection of ever being in Japan.

Ooooh...! Spooky coincidence time. I'm planning a reunion of two of my friends from back home (#LovecraftLand in Massachusetts), so of course I felt obligated to provide entertainment (in the form of #KateBush music videos -- our common musical interest). Anyhow, while looking through my YT playlists, I came across a trailer for #StrangeMagick . I forgot it had come out, and quickly found the actual documentary. I knew it was about #HPLovecraft and #AleisterCrowley, but did not realize it dealt a lot with the #OssipeeVortex. It just so happens that our planned reunion (a few days after the #SolarEclipse ) will take place at the vortex! Talk about #StrangePhenomena !
