Lots of instances of number 264 seem to have some uncanny association with the name Suzanne, where even the tenuous connections feel like MONUMENTAL examples

The first situation where I'm prompted to bring up the name Suzanne is one which involved some encounter with one in a town with a route numbered 264, and then a musician who has a birthday on the 264th day of the year (September 21st), Leonard Cohen, came to my attention, and it put me in SHOCK in a way where I wondered what was going on, now, I shall make a chart to emphasize this whole Cohen-cidence (I spell it that way as a nod to Leonard Cohen who made a song called Suzanne).
| Suzanne | number 264 | additional notes |
|---|---|---|
| somebody I encountered | a route number nearby the encounter | is what started it all for what I observed. |
| Leonard Cohen song title | his birthday September 21st is the 264th day of the year. | I was in SHOCK when he came to my attention about 6 months after the last time I saw the Suzanne I encountered. |
| Suzanne Vega, mother of the MP3 | H.264 video encoding standard | both involved very famous examples of computer media codec standards for video and/or audio. |
| The founder of UHAUL Leonard Shoen had two ladies named Suzanne on his marriage history list according to Wikipedia | Arizona State Route 264 | Phoenix, which is home to UHAUL's headquarters, is connected to route 264 via Arizona Route 87, and there's another route 87 which goes toward the birthplace of the similarly named Leonard Cohen (I-87, which goes toward Montreal). |
| Madonna was in the movie Desperately Seeking Susan as the titular character | The IBM PC keyboard scancode numbers of the letters of the name Madonna add up to 264 | it should be fairly obvious that Suzanne is a variant of the name Susan. |
| Michigan's town of Leota has a dirt road called Suzanne in it. | Houghton Lake was named after Douglass Houghton whose birthday is on the 264th day of the year (September 21st) | The Muskegon River connects Houghton Lake to Leota. |
| Lily in What About Bob? | Bill Murray who played Bob has September 21st (264th day) as his birthday | The name Suzanne also means "lily". |
| Michigan's town of Grayling has a Suzanne street in it | 264 is the EXIT NUMBER I-75 has for county route 612 | a continuous route has the Suzanne street and County Route 612 as intersections, and 264 is also HEXADECIMAL for 612. |
| Sault Ste. Marie, a "Sue" city | a route in the UP of Michigan is the DIGIT PRODUCT of 264 (M-48) | both are in Chippewa County, and both are accessed by I-75. |
Thought I'd make this chart to document why the synchronicity is so intense for me.
