doppelgänger island

So I'm swapping mistaken identity incidents with our Claire when it occurs to me that my doppelgänger in Victoria may have sometimes called in sick when I was not working a day-shift.  On those days I was often downtown at a cafe, a bookstore, the library or walking the shoreline of the strait or bicycling to U Vic.  On any day on which he called in sick, a fellow government employee might have seen him gadding about.

Transpose to Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.

"Excuse me, but isn't that James MacPherson from the Receivables Section?"

"Jinks MacPherson? Looks like him to me ... Now why would you be asking? - or would I be poking my nose where it don't belong?"
