"Coincidences" happen all the time，but last week something happened that really blew my mind.
I'm from Chicago，but I do business in Baltimore.That started on the night before an important business lunch.I usually sleep like a dog，but that night，I didn't fall asleep until at around 2 o'clock because the last time I looked，it was 1：45.The following morning，I woke up very late，as I rushed out，I noticed the number.Room 145." That's odd，" I thought.
The hotel waiter told me any bus that says "downtown" would take me there.As soon as I got to the bus stop，I saw a bus coming and I found it was 145.However，it didn't say "downtown".It came to a stop right in front of me and the doors opened.I don't know what came over me，but I just got on.
The bus was empty. "What am I doing？" I thought to myself.I was just about to get off when I saw an envelope on a seat and picked it up.It wasn't sealed so I looked inside and my jaw" dropped.It was full of money.I started counting- 140 dollars. "Almost" I thought. "That would have been strange." Then，I noticed something on the floor.A five-dollar bill had fallen out.Things were starting to get spooky".
There was an address on the envelope：Bellmore Street and you can guess which number.I had to go there.So，I waited for the bus driver to stop and asked him how to get to Bellmore Street. "Is this a joke？" he asked as he pointed at a street sign.We were on Bellmore Street.So I got off and searched for the number.My heart was in my mouth when an old lady answered.She looked at me，and then at the envelope and simply said "Oh，thanks，" and closed the door.And that was it.
I stood there for a while.Then I remembered my business lunch. "What time is it？" I thought.I saw it was 12：45.But as I was walking towards the bus stop，I realized something.My watch was still set to Chicago time，which is an hour behind!The actual time was...
