Exactly why I never take them. Drive, train or walk. Last time I took a cab was two years ago when I was late for court and the guy's meter was spinning like a one-armed bandit.

Yes. I have an alert in my car that starts screaming at me whenever I break 70. "Slow down, I'd bet there's a cop up there."

in michigan the left lane is for 90 MPH and higher. if em is in the center trapped behind someone going 60, and you don't want to drive 90 you pass on the right.

Suck it.

2. It's been almost balmy here. 'course, we might get hit with another 9 inches of rain this week due to some sort of disturbance in the force. But we'll take the nice when we can get it.

This is why I love taking cars to/from the airport. Flat fares. Nice drivers. They actually get your luggage for you out of the trunk. And it doesn't matter if they take an alternative route (unless you're in a hurry) since there's no meter. And it only costs the client about $10 more!

but they get you with waiting time or stops. if you are litigation sometimes you have stops.

WORLD CUP SPOILER




If the Germans or Spanish win the World Cup, the United States will have lost to the team that lost to the team that lost to the team that lost to the champions.

Once your general pop. numbers get that crazy high, strange things happen with stats. For example, I hear 40 people a year die in India when their rectal thermometers are struck by lightning. Or that at any given moment, a person in India is experiencing firsthand every aspect of the plot to a Nicholas Sparks novel. It's like monkeys on typewriters over there.

Wait, he was complaining about passing on the right when there are lanes?

I thought he was going on about the thing that drivers sometimes do near my house in the burbs -- there's a long stretch of road where the limit is 25 mph, it's fairly wide though only two lanes. Sometimes I take it going 30. There is always someone behind me who wants to go 40. One time, the asshole behind me tried to gun it and pass me on the right, where cars would park if there had been any parked on that day. That annoyed me enough that I matched him and set the pick with a parked car about 100 yards up. He had to get behind me. He wasn't pleased. I waved and smiled. I wouldn't have thought twice about it if he'd done it where there were lanes.

I've found arranging for cars for clients is one of the cheapest frills that is most appreciated.
