We bought a new car not too long ago, and got a new license plate to go with it. Our state's standard license plates take on a three letter plus four number format. The plate we got has a number structured like GXX 5300. We thought, hey cool, that'll be easy to remember.
About two weeks after we received the plate we found ourselves in the car, in the left turn lane of an intersection about half a mile away from home, waiting for the light to change. And the car in front of us had the plate GXX 5299.
It's a random coincidence, but it came with that shiver of possibility of some order beyond the visible. Of course, that's Pynchon's definition of paranoia. It's not hard to see where it comes from.
