22. Twenty-two. What is it about this number? From catch-22, to the 22 yards of a cricket pitch, to the 22 major arcana of the Tarot, twenty-two pops up in all kinds of interesting places. Moreover, it has this strange property: it seeks to appear twice, in close proximity, if it possibly can. I first noticed this at a house numbered 22 near where I live. On the kerb, in the usual place, the number was painted twice. 22 22. I began noticing other occurrences of the number 22 around, and found that, almost invariably, a second 22 was not far away. Once I started observing this phenomena, it began showing up all over. I've started this blog to track and record some of these.
