The first one was rose expert Jeri Jennings, speaking about US rose history and found roses.

Then they aired a multicultural discussion where Queena Kim gave her input -- she is a workmate of mine.

How strange is that?

Anyone else have recent coincidences they'd like to share?

She was from a tiny town in New Mexico, the mall was jammed with like-minded "cool-seekers", & within about a minute of our arrival, someone called her name:

In that crush, somebody from the same small town had spotted her!

'nother coincidence now that I think of it:

I had sponsored a new real estate agent from the Freesian area of the Netherlands.
The language is actually Freesian, it's not spoken by the mass of Dutch people but only by natives of that tiny area.
One day we went to the music store in Waxahachie, Texas, population at that time probably about 25,000, & someone called out to her, by name, in her own language!
It was a guy she'd gone to school with.
He lived 2 houses down from her mother!

Once I was watching National Geographic Explorer and it was going to be about a girl from London researching bears in Chile [iirc?]. Turns out it was a longtime classmate of mine who'd moved to England for college!

A long complicated one made short, hopefully: for reasons I'll skip right now [but good, I swear!], a very few of my high school friends were, um, not dissuaded from believing that a friend of the family I often visited was my boyfriend one semester.

A few years later, during college, he asked me if I remembered a girl from my high school that he had met in another state! Redfaced because she had heard [and clearly TOLD] so much, [judging by his grin] I admitted that we had been good friends... BEFORE SHE MOVED TO HONG KONG! Oy... just my luck.
