This afternoon after my service appointment, I spent some time detailing my bike. My leather saddlebags were beginning to look a little dirty, worn, and dry. So I cleaned them and used some leather conditioner to make them look a little cleaner, well used, and not so dry...
After that, I decided to spend some time at the pool. I am happy to report that my rider's tan is slowly starting to even out!
While at the pool, I met an older couple that was vacationing. As part of the conversation the gentleman mentioned that he was retired from a certain company. This took me aback, as one of my best friend's dad used to work for this same company. So after a quick text message to my friend to see if she knew this person and to confirm a few details, I mentioned his name. The gentleman was taken aback a bit, as he said he knew him well and saw him almost every month.
As the conversation continued, I mentioned that I was a Registered Nurse, learned his daughter is as well. She currently is a Flight Nurse. We talked about her experiences, his fears about the profession, my experience as a Flight Nurse, and the overall safety and impact of what she is doing. After two hours we finally parted. A connection was made and as this gentleman left, he said he will mention my name and this conversation/experience to his daughter.
I find it extremely interesting that in less than a month, I have randomly come across two people in Yuma, AZ, that I have a connection to, in some way, other than family.
Makes me wonder...
