It's A Small, Small, Small, Small World

It's A Small Small Small Small World, originally uploaded by Alison.

OK, I know I said I wasn't blogging, but my kids are asleep, and this is something I wanted to post last week while I was in France. However, I didn't have the USB cable for my phone with me, and the e-mail setup didn't work (this photo is floating around in the ether right now), so it had to wait.

Here's what I posted at Flickr:

I couldn't believe what I saw as I sat at a stoplight in my former hometown in France: a University of Kentucky bumper sticker on a car in front of me. First of all, the French don't do bumper stickers. Second, The University of Kentucky, located in Lexington, Kentucky? The place I now live represented in the place I used to live?

If the light hadn't been about to change, I'd have gotten out of my car and knocked on the driver's window. As it was, I was lucky to get this shot.

Wow. That is an amazing coincidence!

A couple of years ago I was driving my imported Town & Country through one (off the 2 billions) roundabout in France, bearing my Ohio plates. I almost ran into another T&C same color same year with Florida plates... Would have been somewhat funny - and also very tricky for us - if we happened to collide and block the roundabout! Un véritable imbroglio pour les assurances.
