What are the odds of this?

[Rain Man]

My wife and I were wandering around in an antique store today, and we meandered by two women who were chatting.

One of the women asked if the other had moved yet, and she said that she had just bought a condo at the corner of 6th and Ivanhoe.

That caught the attention of my wife and me, because we lived in that condo, which is a very unusual property. It was ten apartments that were built to look like a mansion, and we bought two apartments and turned them into one of seven condos on the property. We were the first buyers, and I was the first president of the homeowner's association. It was also our first home and our first remodeling project, since we completely created the unit.

I couldn't resist, so I broke into the conversation and asked the woman which unit she bought. It turned out that she bought our unit. We had a great chat about what the place looked like when my wife and I bought it compared to what it looks like now, and she said that she'll invite us over once she gets moved in.

The funny thing is that this condo is nowhere near the antique shop. What are the odds that we would be in the shop at the same time as this woman, and would then walk by her right as she described the property? Pretty amazing.

You know, our chow wasn't that great while we were at McConnell AFB in Wichita (I was in the Kansas Air National Guard). But when we got overseas, it was very good. No more 1,000 winged chickens or powdered eggs and milk. The food was really good.
