separated but still similar

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Tokyo, 2008.10.08

My brother discovered that he and I had bought the same watch. The previous year when we'd met in Toronto, he pointed out that he and I had bought the very same jacket, even in the same colour. Needless to say, these purchases were made at different times and places, but it seems that either choices (especially of jackets) are rare for guys our size, or our tastes are similar. Or both.

Rather weird.

The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore.
