Holidays

Merry, Happy, Peace on.. whatever your philosophy, Ditto from Me to You!

I'll be out of the cab for a week or so taking some family time, I'll give you a heads up when I'm back on.

However I do have Excellent amigos in the biz. Can we serve you with one of them?

Now that we can finally bury 2009, We wish you God's Best in Health, Family, Wealth and Happiness for 2010.

Happy Birthday Sam!

Today is our buddy Sam Knutson's 40th birthday!!! Some may know him as the basis of the group Shametrain, others as a local fixture of the music and restaurant kitchen scene.

Join the rest of his friends and fans tonight at the Mill when the Shametrain play a free Friday night show. Pretty sure the cover charge dollars will be used for some extensive pre-Christmas, end of the semester, it's my birthday drinking. Go out! Have fun! Take a cab home!

Peace to all.

Holy Frijole!

Anybody notice that it just got cold? Without a doubt.

It's a good time to let you know that our taxi services are available for you 24-7. The need for a cab or shuttle service doesn't necessarily plan itself. Sometimes auto repairs, doctors appointments, shopping or crosstown visits with friends can be unexpected. Please think to Call Us for a warm, discounted ride as winter begins to abort our usual ways.

Happy Thanksgiving, Yo!

God Be With All that are traveling this weekend. And those that are sitting still also.

Enjoy good food, family and friends while giving thanks for what blessings we have received this past year. Hate to sound preachy, but remember whiners, it can always be worse... Be Grateful!!

We will be on duty, so if your cousin is in from Chicago and you want to go out on the town, ring us up... 319-471-1714 for quick, no BS service.

Boy....

That was a tough loss to take. But we have, in the cab, gotten over it already.

This week we're focusing on some Gentlemen's Clubs to take some of the sadness away, or at least that's what the fellas told me they were going to do. So I took them. $40 to Cedar Rapids.

Woody's, Lumberyard or Dancer's Ranch. That's where $40 will take your gang.

It's Tuesday, so we're working on a limerick for the weekend. How could we work in the word Buckeyes?

Northwestern vs Iowa

The Wildcats have won three of the last four games in the series, including the last two at Kinnick Stadium. They'll bring their A game to 9-0 Iowa Hawkeyes Saturday with kickoff at 11 am. Maybe this week the Hawks will silence their critics and put the 'Cats down for a nap by noon.

Call me at 319-471-1714 for transportation to all day tailgating. The weatherman is bringing his A also as it's forecasted to be Sunny and mid-60s. We'll be available for runs to CID or MLI if necessary and don't forget the Gentlemen's Clubs in Cedar Rapids or the Pieta Brown Show at the Mill. Start early, don't drive and enjoy what should be a very memorable Saturday in Iowa City!!!

Go Hawkeyes!!!

Indiana Game Weekend

Hey hey Hoosiers! Welcome to Iowa City (although we hope you leave saddened by a loss)!

If last night was any indication, Halloween should be scary, as in sick, off the hook... The fact that it is essentially a three day weekend this year gives even the least of inclined the opportunity to find a costume by Saturday night. So, sightseeing and zombie love is also on the agenda for this weekend.

I'll be giving discounts as often as possible this weekend to and from all hotel destinations, but be warned, call way ahead.

Go Hawks, on to 9 and 0!!!

On the Bus

This morning we did some cab repairs. Props to Bud's Tire! Quick, inexpensive, one trip. They have always done us right.

Took our good friend V to the Greyhound Bus Station. They sold her the ticket and she wanted to make sure it wasn't for the Trailways bus. It wasn't. We just needed to be clear on that. Once V got on the wrong bus and it went south instead of east. Always be alert to changes in the schedule, these things do happen. Buses... Big taxis...

Have any bus stories?
