An amazing synchronicity: a cyclist I see almost every morning for the last couple of years, any weather - he's just riding around at the same time as my usual commute - just got hired at the company I work for! Out of all the companies and businesses in this area (22,000 in just Alpharetta GA), what are the odds of that?

There must be some hidden strand of correlation. Maybe my employers like engineers who tend to think out of the box, just a guess but what a coincidence!
