Truly a small world

So New York is a quite a large place, over 8 million people. You would think that you would never see anyone you didn't know twice. On Tuesday, I went to the New York Public Library Humanities Research Library. This is a large library located at 42 and Fifth Avenue. I am getting on the elevator and this man is in front of me. He is talking to himself, smells, and is carrying two pink bags that have the American flag on it that light up. Its New York, so this does not strike me as very unusual, gross but not unusual. Today I am getting off the subway near my apartment and there he is in front of me! I couldn't believe it. Same bags and smell. I am use to seeing people I know and people who live in my neighborhood, but this was truly amazing. Now I am worried that this man lives in my neighborhood. Maybe I should move to a small town!
