Just Too Loud
Today I was at the airport to pick up one of my regular riders a National Football League Ref. (They are getting ready for next season.)
I am parked in the taxi area and I can hear some very loud music coming from up in the near by parking garage. Suddenly this little short guy, who is not as tall as I am, (I'm 5' 4") starts climbing the stairs screaming in a very loud shrill voice. SHUT UP!!! SHUT UP!!! and some things that were totally unintelligible. The loud music stopped.
A few minutes later he came back down and walked out to a white car parked illegally at the exit booth. I thought he was just not happy about the music and was leaving. But he started to walk towards us screaming again and I'm thinking where is that cop when you need one thoughts. He walked past us and out of sight but he could be heard still yelling and yelling.
I'm wishing Bill, the ref, would hurry and get out to the taxi so we could get out of there, when I see an airport maintenance truck coming. I flagged him over and told him about the screamer. Soon two cops were at his (the screamers) car and then the screamer appeared. My customer came out to the taxi so I didn't get to see how it was resolved.
I got my first computer early in the Summer of 2004, and began blogging almost immediately. Thanks to blogging I have been a part of several newspapers and online blogs. By that August I was featured in the lead story of the Tech Section in the San José Mercury News. Then what a pleasant surprise it was to find that my blog, "Taxi Vignettes" was the reason I was chosen as the best local blogger of the year (2006) by the Metro Newspaper. Fall of '06, I was contacted by a reporter, asking if I would be willing to be the topic of her next story in The Willow Glen Resident. It was a cool two pages including photos. Am I having fun yet?
