Monk Quixote

Like a lot of peo­ple, I find hap­pi­ness in uncov­er­ing pat­terns, whether it’s play­ing Sudoku, look­ing for chains in soli­taire, or peo­ple and their behav­iour.  Of the many points of syn­chronic­ity today, the most res­o­nant was walk­ing towards a gag­gle of Japan­ese girls — walk­ing in a strag­gly line a few yards apart — all three of them with a (dif­fer­ent) mobile clutched to their right ear.  I won­dered if they were talk­ing to each other. Or if their hunched walk was the inspi­ra­tion for Caruso’s por­trayal of Hor­a­tio in CSI:Miami.
