Doppelganger strikes again!

Unbelievable, folks. But it would seem that my doppelganger has struck once again...this time on the other side of the earth. In Washington DC of all places! Turns out that people who have known me for *years* thought this doppelganger was me! I saw them just a few months back yet this doppelganger royally fooled them. Never mind that I am supposed to be halfway around the world at the moment. I mean, when people you went to college with and indeed shared a residence with for a year or more, think that your doppelganger is you, and start conversing with the doppelganger as if she really were you, you really start to wonder. Here I already have a doppelganger in Madurai, and now I've got a twin in Washington DC as well? Amazing! The fact that she can move back and forth from Madurai to Washington DC so quickly is a feat in itself. I really want to try and meet this doppelganger! Besides looking so much alike that people I have known for years get us confused, it would appear that we have very similar backgrounds and interests, both being from SC and frequenting the same places in Washington DC as well as Madurai, India, of all places! The only thing is, however, that the Washington DC doppelganger is about six inches shorter than me. Not sure how that played in to the calculations of folks who mistook her for me. Turns out Indians aren't the only people who think all white people look exactly alike.

The Washington DC doppelganger couldn't possibly be my sister, LL, because she and I are exactly the same height.
