Well, I'll be damned, that was you? Sorry for the rough ride but time is money and we had to roll to feed the NOTHING but hungry childrens waiting at the Casa. Any chance you were going to the Naval Yard on Atlantic Ave. in Crooklyn? I know it well and you were well within your rights to be askaredafied! I didn't scare you too bad cause you tipped very well.
I took three years off in the middle of my work life because of stress and drove a Taxi and met some of the nicest people, it was great and they appreciated a nice peaceful non-eventful ride. I picked up a few characters but learned if I let them in the car then I was letting the Devil in the house. I could be looking at them and them looking at me and I'd tell the dispatcher they weren't there. I wasn't going to get mugged to make a couple of bucks.
When I went back to the construction business I was fresh and ready to rip and loved my work with all my heart. I really do miss it but whatayagonnado? NOTHING but play the hand your dealt, gratefully!
