Hi everyone, I just got back home after spending 3 days in New York City and Queens, New York. I’ve been seeing my normal 1111 prompts all along, but I was waiting for one of those unique prompts that really stand out. Well Wednesday was the day.
I left my house at 4:30 am

and drove to the bus depot in New Jersey. They let us park our cars overnight so that is a really great place to park. The trip from my house to the bus depot is 1 hour. I then got on a bus for the 1-½ hour ride into Manhattan, New York.
The next part of my trip was by subway train to Queens. That would normally take another hour and then a short 15-minute Bus ride and finally a 20-minute walk to my company’s Queens office (My company is based in California). So that’s about 4 hours of travel. Now you know why I only have been to that office 2 times in 2 years.
Well that day after a few wrong connections and missing my subway stop it took more like 5 hours to get to the office. When I finally got off at the correct subway stop and walked to the city bus stop I was at the end of the line of the passengers that were boarding the number 11 Bus, my spot where I was standing was few feet away from the back of the bus by the bumper. While I was waiting for the line to move forward I turned my head to look into the street and just then I saw a Taxi drive past and it had 1111 as the last 4 numbers of the advertised phone number that was shown on the car door. We are talking only a few seconds of time for me to have been able to see the taxi and those numbers.
To myself I actually said “Cool", but I have seen and I wrote about seeing a taxi cab with these numbers before. I guess I was also thinking, “not impressed”. Well, I finally got on the bus and the ride was about 15 minutes and I got off the Bus and walked to the street corner waiting for the traffic light to change so I could walk across the street, well at that exact second that I had stopped I saw the very same Taxi drive right by me again. When I first saw taxi it had been going west and the bus was heading south. Now the taxi was heading east, now I was impressed.
Keep in mind all the timing that was involved in seeing these 2 prompts. If I had not be delayed, if there had been one less person standing in line at the original bus stop, I would not have been able to see that Taxi go past me, because I would have been next to the bus and it would have blocked my view of the street. Not to mention what are the chances of the taxi passing right in front of me the second time at the exact second I had stopped walking and was waiting for the traffic light to change so I could cross the street.
It would have served me right to have been standing there and have a big puddle of water in front of me and then have the taxi drive through the water and soak me. That would have been good pay back for the “not impressed” thought.
Hope everyone has a great weekend.
Love and peace to all
