Last night I watched USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage, starring Nicolas Cage. Two things immediately stood out about the film, indicating that I should watch it: first there was the surname of the films main star "Cage", given that it's an addition to the recent "Enclosure Theme" pattern-cluster that began with my October 3 post, Paddock, Stahl, and When Frogs Come Out. The other thing that stood out was the mention of "Sharks" in the Netflix film intro, and knowing that it's an addition to the prolific "Shark Theme" pattern-cluster. As well, at the end of the film when they were giving a time line of events occurring after and related to the the sinking, the date of October 25 had come up... and given my recent posts that involve this date, I consider it another "timely" prompt.
On perusing the list of cast and real life characters one stands out:
Note from the films wiki page:
Many of the dates stand out ie: June 13 is my birthday; August 9 and January 9 are both one off from the birthdays of my ex husband and step son both of whom are born on the 8th of August and January respectively. And we have a "January 7, 8, 9/ Date Sequence" pattern-cluster.

So another addition to the "Timely" pattern-cluster... indicating that we're on the 'wright' track.
