LOL! It's almost like we're having that conversation between the Mel Gibson character and the Joaquim Phoenix character in "Signs".

"Do you think there is no such thing as coincidence?"

In our conversation here, I think that my use of "luck" and yours of pre-destination are perhaps the exact same thing. I expect it was most certainly meant to be -- and isn't that lucky!

OK, I'll stop now...

Hehehehe.....those hobbits do have a lot of ...."improbable"....things happen to them. Who'd a thunk it?
