Cab Drivers! What A Strange Lot! Why Would Anyone Want To Drive A Hack For A Living? Other Than Being Capable Enough To Safely Operate A Vehicle, You Don't Need Any Special Skills Or Training. You Don't Need A University Degree In The Humanities, Though You May Become A Qualified Human Affairs Expert After Driving A Cab For Several Years. Cabbies Must Be The Most Misunderstood Creatures In The World! Why Else Would They Do What They Do? Without It Being Said, A Cab Driver Works Twelve Hour Shifts On A Routine Daily Basis. They Often Get Assaulted, And Even More Often Than Not, They Get Ripped Off. Society As A Whole Views Cabbies As Individuals With The Same I.q. As A Lava Lamp, Who Only Drive A Taxi Because They Can't Get A Job Anywhere Else, And, They Probably Have A Criminal Record Too! They Get Screamed At, Threatened, Spat On, Slapped, Punched, Kicked, Stabbed, And Tragically, Some Get Murdered. What Person In Their Right Mind Would Want To Take On This Kind Of A Life When They Could Earn A Lot More Money With A Lot Less Aggravation And Abuse By Simply Donning A Pair Of Dark Glasses And Selling Pencils On Any Street Corner? I Drove A Taxi In The City Of Winnipeg For About Twenty Years For Red Patch Taxi. These Memories Are My Memories And I Am Gladly Sharing Them With You, The Reader. My Biggest Thanks Go Out To The City Of Winnipeg And To All Of Its Citizens Whom I Found To Be The Friendliest People Anywhere! I Hope That These Stories Of Mine Will Move You Emotionally, Either With A Smile, A Laugh Or A Tear. Winnipeg, Thanks For The Memories! Savour The Stories!
