About Me
To my new friends (*and old*) I decided to restart "my" page after so long away!!! If I'm asking for a friend request - I was on here in the spring and myspace deleted my page (don't know why) and I probably had you as a friend...or want you as one now!
I have been in the taxi business since 1987 in one form or another dispatching or driving with about a four year break in the mid-90's... I threatened from day one to write a book about my experiences like some of you have - and I finally did... made it into an Adobe format... They are probably stories just like yours... If I learned anything about driving a cab and sharing stories with other drivers, only the other drivers believe the stories... because we share the same public.... Your friends don't believe you either? Hmmmm.... I'll put a few stories on there just to make you laugh...or to remember yours! 12/11/07 I just put my signature on the dotted line to have my book, "The Thin Yellow Line" published!Driving a taxi turns a driver into a driving psychiatrist, psychologist, veterinarian, friend, priest, arbitrator, mentor, liar, doctor, comedian, parent, counselor, mechanic, cynic, believer, doubter, hater, politician, lover, caretaker, robin hood and teller of silly stories... In driving a taxi, in almost any city, in any state, a driver comes across some of the most bizarre, interesting, weird, humbling and unusual circumstances imaginable. It is my hope that you are completely engulfed and entertained with these stories, both short and long.
There will be no real political correctness, so the offensive nature of this book is told here before you read it. If you are easily offended, don’t read any more and tell a friend who‘d appreciate it.
If you are easily offended, you already know you won't purchase this book. Don’t complain to me or I’ll just throw you out of my cab anyway. :)
What happened when you were in the taxi is now written here. Most of the names have been changed to protect the guilty.
