Key West - What were the odds of meeting someone from the Poughkeepsie Yacht Club?

 

One wonders how would you compute the probability of such an encounter?

Instead of donuts this morning from the Old Town Bakery, we thought of having breakfast at Schooner Wharf. We wouldn’t go anywhere else for breakfast. The prices are the best around and you have a view of the harbor.

I have the three eggs western omelet with bacon and Ann had the same but in a wrap. It was great. We had a table right by the harborwalk and she wondered what were the chances of somebody walking by that we knew? I thought that was pretty slim but who knows. 

Venus near the horizon and Jupiter higher up

About halfway through our meal, Mike and Jackie Capra walked by - we recognized each other right away. He will be the next Commodore of the club and they were down for a week or so. They just happened to walk by our table on a Sunday morning, strange coincidence. 

I don’t know if you’ve noticed but in the night sky just after sunset, there are two bright stars visible. They are planets, not stars and the lower one is Venus with the higher one being Jupiter. It’s a beautiful sight that will last for several months.
