One particularly fortunate coincidence happened yesterday, actually.
I've been in the door now for about 20 minutes, having just come back from a road trip I left for on Thursday to the Cincinnati area. I had a rather nice time, but since I had to drive so far in so little time (I live in the midlands of SC, and took the scenic routes as much as possible), I obviously wasn't able to stop very much anywhere. Like, all of my stops were limited to restroom breaks and finding hotels to crash in for a few hours before getting back on the road.
Well yesterday, I broke my habit of driving nonstop for once, and decided to visit an historic battlefield outside of Richmond, Virginia, instead of continuing straight on to Knoxville, Tennessee like I was sorely tempted to. It was in the late afternoon when I got there, the Sun already bright with it's dying rays. Then lo and behold, when I got out of the car, I was approached by a young woman with 3 small kids. She said, "I'm sorry, but do you have a cell phone I could use to call my husband with? I locked my keys in my car and my phone died."
Needless to say, I of course aided her. I still can't hardly believe how I arrived at just the right time to help the lady, especially since I hail from so far away from her location; it's just crazy, you know?
