Unrelated observations: About a decade ago, I was living with a woman named Julia when the language Julia became popular in the tech community. Julia worked at a large asset manager that manages trillions, and IIRC they used Julia for their genie software. That year, I brought Julia to a large Erlang meetup in a large tech-oriented American city. She was the only woman there; I believe there was over 100 Erlanger's in attendance.

I am no longer with Julia.

Recently I've been in closer communication to my auntie, Janet. About a month ago, I sent her a link to the news about the release of Janet Lang. She got a smile out of it.

Also, on the message forum of a worldwide successful band I was once in, I was accused of owing someone I don't know $80, and then much later in an unrelated incident, accused of a felony. Despite fighting at trial and prevailing, the expungement has proven useless and has snowballed. 3, 2, 1 (hi reddit)

Today, from the small town where I reside, I sent $125 to a man via PayPal. Just thereafter, a local woman posted her junk for $125 on the local FB forum hub, which I immediately observed after sending the $125 via PayPal. I sent the $125 in public, on my laptop, at a small coffee shop, on their wifi, seated in a position where I reasonably believed that I was out of shoulder surfing range.

Just observing. Coincidences are inevitable. Common first names, and small numbers -- such coincidence are mathematically certain to happen over time.
