Another one of those Buzzy-related coincidences happened to me yesterday. I am going to coin a new term for these sort of “meaningful coincidences” and call it Buzzynicity. Here is how yesterday’s case of Buzzynicity happened on a very beautiful late December day.
Because it was so nice out, I knew and expected that several motorcyclers would be rolling into Buzzy’s yesterday. Throughout the day I was correct in my assumption. What I didn’t expect however was a visit from my the Second District Road Show friends who rolled in around mid-afternoon. Among the group were TJ and Brian Boothe, Janice and Kenny Sebring, and David Adams. Their rides are pictured here. (In no way do I want to slight my everyday-Buzzy friends Ned Pratt with his Challenger and JW Raley with his Pantera who were also on hand at Buzzy’s when TJ and Company pulled in.)
TJ was in Buzzy’s at the counter buying a round of beer when he informed that he was going to be in my area soon putting a pier in up the beach from me. TJ, who put my pier in several years ago, discussed how challenging it is to install piers in my neighborhood because of the way the lots are laid out. (For some crazy reason, the lots in my neighborhood were laid out diagonally to the shore line. This means that when installing a pier here, special consideration has to be given how it is situated with regards to your neighbor’s property lines. Even though I had a double lot, I still had to obtain a waiver or permission from my neighbor because my pier was encroaching on his water property line. It’s all a very confusing mess to say the least.)
TJ and I discussed various horror stories that we had heard about pier issues in my area where neighbors were forced to either stop work on projects or even tear down and rebuild piers they had already started or finished. Somewhere in that conversation, pier builders Colliflower and Peterson names were mentioned.
That would be my friend Steve Peterson whom I haven’t heard from nor talked to in quite awhile. As TJ and I continued to converse about piers, I made a mental note to contact Steve and see what he and his wife Susan have been up to.
Well, it didn’t take long for me to hear from Steve. A little later after TJ and his crew had left Buzzy’s, I checked my phone for messages and found this one from Steve:
J.Scott,
What a surprise your Blog was today. That is from the 2018 Veteran’s Day Parade. That is our Grandson Rowe and me in the ’63 Avanti.
Steve was referring to the following photo that I had just posted in yesterday’s Buzzyblog. Now that he has told me, I do recognize that that is him behind the wheel.
All this not a half hour after his name was mentioned and I had thought to contact him!
How’s that for some Buzzynicity or whatever you want to call it!?
Since I mentioned it in the title, here for you is some Little Feat with a funny video:
