Speaking of odd coincidences, I spent time in Southbury CT in 2010 and
2011. That is a stone's throw from Sandy Hook, where the school
shooting took place in 2012.
Also, subsequent to that, was Hurricane Sandy, which flooded not only
NYC and my appartment near the Village (when I was going to NYU grad
school) but also displaced over 300 University of Fairfield students, in
my hometown of Fairfield, CT, as their beachfront lodgings were
demolished in the storm.
And the only horse I was allowed to ride as a child was an albino arab
with blue eyes and pink skin named...Sandy...
Just odd...
