It has been slow since the last entry. I have not detected much synchronicity, but otherwise have had a great week.
Yesterday I had a conversation with a coworker about joining a shotgun charity golf tournament. I told him that I was good and shot an 86 the other day. He was impressed until I told him it was on the front 9!
He continued to explain to me that most courses have a 72 par. I had never put that together only ever playing 18 holes once.
Today I was driving home from work and heard an advertisement on the radio for a golf course up north. The pitch was something like "Come play golf where our average temperature is the same as our par...72."
I thought to myself, "I just find out something yesterday that I never knew before and I hear it again only 24 hours later...what was that about?" (Synchronicity #1)
I continued on my way stopping to get gas. While in the convenience store I saw an old friend I have not seen in over a year. We catch up and part ways. (Synchronicity #2)
I was driving northbound, speedily as usual, when I noticed a police car coming south down the street. I slowed down significantly and my heart raced slightly, but the car did not turn around. I responded with speeding back up to the usual 15 to 20 miles over the limit and then noticed to my surprise that another police car as sitting on the opposite side of the street in what looked like a speed trap. Again I slowed down quickly. It really got my heart pumping when I saw his lights flash on even before I passed him. I saw him pull out, lights blaring, in my rearview mirror, but he continued down the road traveling south. I found this very curious and thought to myself that this was no coincidence. Remembering the rule of three's I slowed down to the limit for the rest of my trip and kept my eyes peeled. (Synchronicity #3)
When I turned up a road near my house that I usually blast through because of its roller coaster like berms, I just "knew" that there was a similar speed trap somewhere along the way. It was then that I noticed a small white crossover van parked inconspicuously behind a large bush on the side of the road. It was an APD mobile speed monitoring van complete with camera and radar gun.
I could not help but feel that the universe was conspiring to help me through the expense and trouble of getting a speeding ticket. I thanked the cosmos for my good fortune and my ability to decode all these signs. I guess I should slow down just a little bit huh?
