I wish I had the raw talent that guy had. I was a modest talent, most parents wold love for their kids to have my math SATs, but I'm a cut below the real math whizzes.
It's hard to believe but cab driving is one trip of a job. You get totally random encounters with just about every type of person you could imagine. I mean, who hasn't taken a cab at least once or twice? And in a cab, people are trusting their life to you, it sorta makes them open up, about half of the time anyway. Oh man, I used to love it when the ladies would lean forward from the back seat, leaning on the front seat back.
And you see the mean streets up close, second only to what cops see, I'm guessing. It's a seriously dead end job though. I make as much now in 6 or 7 hours as I used to be happy to make in 2 or 3 ten to twelve hour shifts.
