Nye2009

This is the first time in five years I haven't driven a Taxi on New Years Eve.  Its weird, but I have no plans.

I didn't give it much thought until my burriteur at Bajio, asked me my plans.  Props for the home made style Mexican food, by the way.

Since I quit driving, even though I kept my taxi van, I've been utilizing Lextran.  I mention this because fresh in my mind, is the pointless disagreement with the driver over the existance, or not, of a route, even I agree was discontinued.  Hardly worth my breath, but pixels are cheap.  Let it be heard, let it be said, Lextran ran an express bus to Nicholasville, Ky.  around 1998 or 99.  It was the other leg of #7.  It was discontinued after a grant was spent out.

Out of business

I read somewhere that the average tenure for a New York Cab driver was 5 years. I just about made it. I started New Years Day 2005, and quit New Years Eve 2008. If 20% off is almost. Which I would challenge if someone told me.

Of all the stories I have accumulated, the one that stands the test of time is the time I was pulled over in a road block. I have been encouraged to flesh it out and expand it and submit it somewhere. I am not sure if I have blogged it. But if I have, it will be reworked into something more of an entertainment piece.
