At the cab stand
Yesterday, I was having a deeply philosophical discussion with another cab driver I know about two women who flagged me down at Hunter and Wellington.I guess I made a remark about the ladies that was, uhm, ungenerous when the other guy said, "Well, what did you expect if you picked them up at Hunter and Wellington?"
Then we both laughed. Who, but a couple of cab drivers, would draw such conclusions about people based upon where we picked them up? OK, maybe cops. I remember the NYPD Blue Sipowitz character explaining something to his son about police work. All he said was, "People, places, the things they do, the times they do 'em."
Man, I love this city.
