Random Pairs

I think of the phrase “ships passing in the night.”  Random encounters also happen at dawn  (like Donald C and McAllister Brothers),

December afternoons (like Maryland and Evening Mist), or

mid morning ( like Aegean Sea and Laura K Moran), and every hour in between.  Sometimes they prompt a spin for second glance,

sometimes they lead to joined forces (like Jill and Kristy Ann Reinauer) and other times

there’s  just a perfunctory  wave as they steam by (like Thomas D. Witte and Christian Reinauer)

The challenge is to know when to steam by, when to get a second and third inquiring look, and when to form alliances.  Form ye alliances while you might . . . hmmm . . . is that like “Gather ye rosebuds while ye may . . .”?  Rest of Herrick’s poem is here.
