Dumb Luck for the Win

Because I guided someone to the vending machines, I missed the 8. Because I missed the 8, I had time to notice I forgot to leave my name tag. Because I had to return it, I was in the right place at the right time to help a kid and dad find a bandaid for the kid. When I walked back to the other 8 stop, the other number 8 was one minute away.

Today's odd coincidence

June 16, 1963, Valentina Tereshkova first woman to fly in space.
June 16, 2012, Liu Yang first Chinese woman to fly in space.

Sally Ride, 1st American woman in space, went up June 18, 1983. I wonder if at any point the plan was to launch on the 16th?
