I just finished reading a great book called 'Ghost Empire' that I bought in August last year at the Byron Bay Writers Festival, after hearing a talk on the book by the author Richard Fidler and getting him to sign my copy.
Ghost Empire is a 2016 book by Richard Fidler. 

It tells the story of a visit to Istanbul with his son Joe in 2014 and the bloody history of Constantinople and the Roman Empire. 

"67 is a bitch?" Ulysses?

I was reading the section of Richard's book where he wrote about the word TAXIS -
"TAXIS: A Divinely Ordained Sense of Order That Would Infuse the World with Light, Harmony and Holiness."

I smiled when I read that passage, as my late father was a taxi driver in his younger days, and he passed away about a month after I had bought this book. 

And I also couldn't help thinking of the last time I saw Dan Aykroyd in a movie, and he was playing a taxi driver in the movie he co-wrote, 'Ghostbusters'.

I also thought about how I had bought myself a bottle of Dan's Crystal Head vodka for Father's Day about a week before my father passed away -

Crystal Head Vodka, Father's Day and Death

"Aykroyd and Alexander first conceived of the idea for Crystal Head Vodka in 2007.

Due to the lack of additive free vodka in market, Aykroyd decided to make one himself.

Alexander designed the bottle based on the pair’s shared fascination with the legend of the thirteen Crystal Skulls."

Oddly enough, my father passed away in his sleep on the 13th of September considering that legend of the 13 Crystal Skulls that Dan and Alexander based the idea for the vodka off above.

The synchronistic thing was with skulls, death, ghosts and Kristen Wiig all synching up in my life right now was I just watched Kristen's performance in the excellent movie 'The Skeleton Twins' on Netflix the other night and it slotted a lot of synchromystic pieces in place for me, which I'll write about in another post focusing on 'Ghostbusters' , 'The Skeleton Twins' and a few other movies Kristen was in.

And that post will be one synchromystic "Six Degrees of Separation" weird taxi ride, I think.

Did the Ghostbusters Reboot Predict Trump, the Cub's and Federer's Australian Open Win?
Cheers.

UPDATE: July 10th, 2017

The taxi number was 1354 (1+3+5+4=13)

I knew there was something else I was supposed to include in my post and forgot.
It was a story I saw on the net at the ABC news site on July 4th, 2017, about a taxi driver who lost control of his cab in Boston -
At least 10 people injured after Boston taxi ploughs into pedestrians at airport
"Massachusetts State Police said a crash that injured 10 pedestrians near Boston's airport did not appear to be an intentional act.
A taxi struck the pedestrians in a taxi-queuing area on Monday afternoon (local time) near Logan International Airport in East Boston.
A police official said the crash was believed to be a case of "operator error" in which the 56-year-old driver stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake."
The number of the taxi was 1354 I noticed and when I added all the numbers together, I got 13 also (1+3+5+4=13).
I guess the superstitious people reading that story would probably put it all down to bad luck.
And in a way it kind of is, I guess.

Although the numberplate did contain 777s and a pair of 2s, which would have made a good hand at poker.
So maybe it was just good luck that nobody was killed?

I saw the words "West End Leasing Inc" on the taxi door in the above photo and thought well if it wasn't enough that my father was a cab driver for most of his life and passing away on the 
13th, West End is the suburb of the hometown he grew up in and in his final stages of Alzheimer's thought he still lived there sometimes, even though the house was long since gone.
Sometimes I think Douglas Adams was right in saying the answer to the universe is 42 -
