Different turn

understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.
Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.
I left for work on Monday, 26.9.2016, around 9 am and continued down the same path I always go. The street I have to cross near my building is usually empty but that morning there was a lot of traffic and on the spur of the moment I made a decision to take a turn and walk down a different street. Two minutes later I met a dear friend that I hadn't seen in months and whom I thought of the previous evening but didn't feel like calling. It turned out that she had early business in the area where I live (she doesn't live near me) and was actually headed to the building where I work. I thought that it was a lovely chain of seemingly unrelated events that made me smile all day.
