Day 163 - I must have been stir crazy

I was so worried about my cab ride, I was like do you think I will have to talk the cabbie?  I really am not a social person and I don't like making small talk, but the minute I got in the cab I talked now stop.  Really.

So the cabbie was from Punjab has 4 children (17, 14, 11 and 6) came over here in 1985 went back to India in 1992 found a wife and came back here.  His Uncle left Punjab sixty years ago and before that they moved to Punjab 1000 years ago.  He started out in  import export, but the company moved to Hong Kong so he got a job at a gas station and now I guess drives a cab.   He has been driving a cab for the last 23 years and he knew where Geary Blvd was and even knew what was there before it was Kaiser.

He pointed out all the different sights around the city and even told me where all the gas stations were and what brand they were (Chevron was on the corner, and that one was private and that one was Texaco.)  I truly enjoyed the ride.

Group was boring - I started to surf the net and was made to pay attention.  Oh well I guess if I am going to act like a three year old I am going to get treated like a three year old.

Oh yea the cast comes off today!!!!

  1. Although the cast DID come off the NEXT day (Wed, 3/23/11), you've still got to remember to wear the soft cast about 99% of the time

    You can now walk & make Taya happy

    When people are nervous, they do tend to talk nonstop - you've seen enough "cop shows" to know that.

    Glad you went AND glad you answered by text message telling me you got there

    OTHER LURKERS ON THE SITE - COMMENTS ARE WELCOME!!!!!!!
