[AccessD] We only notice the significant observations

Humans seems to be hardwired to observe patterns and narratives, even in
randomness.  Maybe it is because of randomness?  Dunno, but they do know we
will make up a pattern and story out of nothingness...

Ok, I plead guilty to the above. But nonetheless, it strikes me as Jungian
synchronous how many times I glance at the time and it's 11:11 (am or pm,
both count). Maybe this says more about when I am on-line than anything
else, but it keeps on happening. It just happened 3 minutes ago, for the
Nth-Hundred time this year.

Anyone else experience similar "lucky numbers"?

Granted, I ignore all the other random times, but even if I do that, and
restrict the set to repeatable numbers (4:44, etc.), 11:11 keeps coming up
for me most frequently. Perhaps I ought take this phenomenon to the craps
table in the nearest casino LOL.
