Ditto that !

I was out on Christmas Eve - and as usual, had a few too many -
- thankfully I still had enough good-sense to realize that I was well
over the limit - and decided to do something I’ve never done before -
- I took a taxi home !
Sure enough on the way home there was a police spot-check,
but since it was a taxi they waved it past and I arrived home safely
without incident. How lucky I chose to take a taxi !
But this morning - in the clear light of day - I started to ponder the
situation - I had never driven a taxi before. I don’t know where I
got it, and now that it’s in my garage I don’t know what to do with
it. So, anyway, if you want to borrow it give me a call.

In a few more years you're going to have to
start explaining to people what a "taxi" is.

My right arm is pretty much immobilized after shoulder surgery, so
woodworking is out for a few weeks. For Christmas I got some material
to practice my carving.
You wouldn't believe how much fun it is carving something from a lump
of coal!

Merry Christmas!

If you put a small lump in the right place, the next morning you'll have
a diamond. Use a little lube to insert it.

We drove from Massachusetts to Western NY mid-afternoon on Monday. I was
towing a lightly loaded 5 x 8 enclosed trailer with a Honda Odyssey.

It was pretty windy with mostly a headwind but some sideway gusts. No big
deal, I've been towing for years. This is nothing. Somewhere between Albany
and Syracuse it started raining - hard. OK, rain is better than snow. Then I
looked at the external temperature reading: 28°F! Well that sucks.

Ice started to form on the windshield but the defroster made quick work of
that. It was the roads I was worried about. I, along all the 18 wheelers,
slowed to about 45 MPH and put our flashers on. The salt trucks were out
so the roads were just wet in *most* spots, but there were spots that were
pretty slick. Other people were still flying by at 70+.

Not surprising, the idiots got what they deserved. A few miles later, we
were stuck in traffic, merging right to let the emergency vehicles go by.
4 separate vehicles up against the center guardrail or off into the snow
packed median.

I hope that only their vehicles (and their pride) were hurt.

Ahh... a typical NYS Thruway experience... I've seen it many times. ;~) I'd
been running up the Thruway regularly since 1990 but in the past few years
I've mostly telecommuted and avoided the show.

One time I saw an ambulance sitting up on top of the guard rail in the
median. This after it went by me without any emergency lights on at an
unreasonable speed... That was fine until it spun out and ended up on the
guard rail. I could see in the back as I went by and there was no patient
being transported. I suspect the driver had some "splainin to do." :~)

The other extreme was the time time I saw a Ferrari parked in the median and
a flat bed tow truck pulling over. That guy had the sense to have the thing
towed instead of trying to drive it on a snowy road. He apparently has the
brains to go with the money!

81 can be worse than 90. I used to run the 90-81-17-87 route to NYC.

It was fairly common to see headlights pointing skyward from the vehicles
that slid off into the valleys that served as the median. 81 is much more
hilly than 90.

I just missed one on 90 a few years back. We drove by a SUV that was on
it's side with 2 guys standing on "top" helping the occupants climb out.
I know we must have just missed it because there wasn't even any rubber-
necking delays yet. Just the SUV on it's side and 2 other cars parked on
the shoulder.

woodchucker was heard to mutter:

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas to one and all!
And a very Happy 2017 New Year!
