It’s odd sometimes how observations seem to come together in clusters.  I’d never been to Pittsburgh before last weekend and didn’t know much about the city and didn’t give it much thought.  So when the book I was reading on the flight out and back mentioned Pittsburgh’s Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth street bridges on the return flight (which coincidentally enough were in some of the pictures I took from the convention center), it got my attention.

The same thing goes for Palomino.  I stumbled across this restaurant across the street from the Hilton (in the Gateway towers) on Sunday evening.  It was a bit pricey, but the food and service were good.  What got my attention was that I heard a commercial on the radio this morning for them.  It turns out that there’s one in Dallas.

It just seems odd to me that all these references show up just after I have been to these locations.  Of course, it’s possible that I was just aware of them now and that made them more likely to be noticed.  But I’m not entirely convinced that this is the case.
