My opinion is that most weird and surprising occurrences which happen in my life are mostly coincidences. However, there have been, I think, some instances where, if I were to be open-minded, I might claim them to be more than chance.
Well, gosh darn it. Their debit machine broke down and they couldn't get the stubborn thing to work. So, they told me I didn't have to pay.
Quite a coincidence. Thank-you Lynn.

I have a system. I pay myself two pay cheques a month, just as if I were back at work. Well, I didn’t think that I was going to be able to financially squeak by this first half of April. I could cover the tire job, but the trips to Sydney and Port Hawkesbury and a bike payment and groceries, were going to leak into my make-believe pay cheque time.
“What now?” I thought. I already had a bad feeling about the day.
“You won’t have to pay for a new tire, we will. You’ll have to come back when we get the new tire.”
While I absorbed this piece of news, the mechanic came back with a second summer tire and showed me the slash in its side.
You see, the machine that takes the tires off their rims, had cut up two of my summer tires.
My initial reaction was strange. The day was not going according to plan, and I couldn’t get my head to see through the fog that had settled inside my mind when I got out of bed. I couldn’t see the positive.
I didn’t have to pay for the tire change until later on next week, and that freed up some money. Plus, I was getting two brand new tires for free. That would save me future expenses.
I had to admit that this event was a strange kind of coincidence. So I said, “Thank-you Sue,” because I just can’t be too close-minded.
What a coincidence.
Thank-you Canadian Government.
