Beef sandwich, anyone?

 Day 8

Three evenings in a row now.  When the temperture is below zero, more humans want rides.

I am currently waiting at the Midway Airport holding lot.  It is giving me time to talk Hollywood.  I believe the idea started when I realized that the movie “Planes, Trains, and Automobiles” doesn’t feature the Taxi as one of the main modes of transportation.  I think Dell Griffith and Neal Page finally arrive at Neal’s house via a cab, so where is the love?  One of my favorites, with Charles Grodin and Robert DeNiro, is “Midnight Run.”  Similar to “Planes, Trains and Autos,” the characters use several modes of transportation before finally making their destination.  The only movie that jumps out is “Taxi Driver”, and as I recall, the main character is a lunatic.  I have no plans to follow any political candidates around and shoot them, btw.  “Scrooged” has a great New York cab that helps get Bill Murray’s character around, and there is a cameo with Miles Davis in that movie!

A note about blogging; I am learning how to best use the blog site.  I do believe if you become a FOLLOWER of the blog, I can eventually message you when there are new posts.  I understand that new posts are infrequent, and that it is not the first site you visit after reading the morning paper.  Only the lead singer from the band J Canon checks my blog daily. What I do know is that I make a fraction of a penny each time a blog reader clicks one of the Ads.  So feel free to make me tens of dollars.

I have written a lot here in the Limo Lot.  I guess none of the planes that have practically hit the roof of this cab are carrying my future passengers.  A reminder about a limo/livery cab – we can’t pick up a fare at a Chicago Airport unless they call us for a ride.  The humans in red coats will stone me if I get out of line.  The airports are rough.

Ding Ding Ding…. It is Restaurant Review time. I have driven several folks in the food industry around town. Usually it as a ride home from work.  Tonight I drove a waiter from Tavern on LaGrange home. (Those not from the area may want to stop reading this blog entry now.)  When I asked, “Cmon’, how is the food really?  It is more of a tavern than a restaurant.”  The reply was a heartfelt thumbs up.  My customer has worked at several restaurants (I let him know that his stint at Olive Garden does not count.), and he is impressed with the food.  He usually eats the beef sandwich.
