Totally random meeting of forum member
This was pretty interesting ... sort of 'Twilight Zone'-like synchonicty (Carl Jung's idea of seemingly coincidental unrelated events sharing some amazing alignment).
Just walking around my city (Halifax, Nova Scotia), I have never seen anyone (that I can recall) wearing a kilt except at the busy market and some touristy spots like some bus tours, pubs and restaurants and the old fort Citadel Hill (playing to the Scottish history angle)...
So today, after walking around Point Pleasant Park for some hours, I made my way walking home. I was in the middle of the huge grassy area (with some softball ball diamonds and a central fountain) called the "Commons" (which I live next to) and in the middle I find myself walking right towards another kilted fellow walking also towards me at an angle.
We had to stop and have a few words and it turns out he was "Newfoundlander" from the forum .
What are the chances of such a random encounter. I've never seen a kilt-wearer just walking around the city and only 3 days into wearing a kilt, I happen to be walking straight towards another forum member in the middle of a huge grassy field in the middle of my city haha
I find that quite amazing!
A group of people were walking by and smiling a bit... I thought maybe they thought it was odd seeing two kilted guys talking in the middle of the Commons grounds (but maybe I'm just a wee bit conscious of wearing a skirt, er, kilt in public still)...
Anyway, pretty neat occurrence
