Small Coincidences, Noticed

I had to fly down to Fort Worth (life is too short to live in Dallas*) for business. Both the flight down and the flight back were full, I don't mean mostly full, I mean--There was not a single empty seat on the plane.

Both the way down and back had the same arrangement: Isle, a young man, middle, me (naturally), window, a young woman.

Another coincidence (which might not really be one). The person ahead of me ordered two Tito's and then the young lady (who looked under aged to me. but evidently looked old enough to the server she didn't ask for ID) also ordered two Tito's. She might have got the idea from the guy ahead of us, but I don't think so:

1. She had headphones on and running--I could hear her music. So, I don't think she heard the guy ahead of us.

2. She seemed really prepared: She also asked for a glass with ice and cut up limes. When she got the glass, she put in a packet of Emergen-C and then topped it off with the Texan vodka.
