Tales of Olivia: Eighty-eight, Eight Eighty-eight ... Point Eight

3634
So, on the way home from work, going straight home as every good citizen who does not want to get tagged by COVID-19 should be doing, the-editorial-we stopped to notice this:



Olivia drew a full house today. Eighty-eight thousand, Eight hundred and eighty-eight miles, and eight-tenths. It was double-fortunate in a way: it happened in such a way that I could pull over, on SE Cherry Blossom Dr, pointing southeast, just past the intersection of SE 107th Avenue, and it happened in such a way that I could pull just past the intersection, out of the flow of traffic, and have all those eights line up perfectly.

A lot of people do this and it almost never happens that they line up so sweet. I hope this wasn't the day I was supposed to buy that lottery ticket.

This was the view of Cherry Blossom Drive out Olivia's windscreen at that point.
