Is interest related to awareness?

I think any woman who has been pregnant, or maybe is trying to become pregnant, can vouch for this effect - all of a sudden there are pregnant women everywhere.

Sadly the same thing goes for losing a loved one. You're hyper-attuned to the loss and tend to "see" them or recognize a common feature in people everywhere.

I guess it's an interesting comment on how much data actually pass us by on a daily basis, stuff we don't notice or recall.

velo, A-ha! Like Catrin, my library has that book as well I'll look into it! And yea, it does seem to hold true to any interest... hmm... As Iph mentioned, it's almost scary how much we seem to miss.

goldfinch Ah, nah! Next time you're in the area, look me up!
emily_in_nc Sounds like my da's kind of place!

I refer you to the list of "you might be a bicyclist if...

You pass a car with two bikes on the bac, you can't identify the make or color of the car but you can identify the make, model and year of both bikes. Ditto for being on a bike and passing riders, you can't always identify the sex or age of the rider but you can idetify the make model year and color of the bike.

just sayin
