I saw some things that scarred me for life driving a cab. Sometimes the aftermath, sometimes right when it happened.

It rarely snows in Vegas, but the few years I saw it were funny. The city is paralyzed. The only plows are up in Mount Charleston to the west. They don’t share them. Those of us who grew up in a snowbelt did fine. Just drive a little slower and give distances between cars. It…

Thanksgiving in Vegas was a weird holiday. As a cabby I got a free Turkey from a casino. As a dealer I had to work the Holiday usually. I was a graveyard dealer as you know, and this let me have the holiday at home for a little lack of sleep. Not a lot of…
