A Black Cat, Friday The Thriteenth, UFO's And Water On The Moon

I knew something like this would happen. Today was Friday the Thirteenth and on my way to my first call after sunrise, a black cat shot out of the bushes on Palmetto street and ran under the fence going into the Arbor Ponds apartments. Man, I did not need that.

You see, luck is vital to a cab driver. We are not paid a salary or an hourly wage. It is pure commision. If we get bogged down with short fairs, we are screwed. We owe our company a lease not matter the quality of our fares. I was a little nervous after this very black, without any white chest hair, made his dramatic move in front of my cab. He seemed to bring me luck, however, I had a very interesting day despite the cat. I also made a little bit of money.

The only weird thing that happened was I had a time call going to the airport and when I got there, I could see the customer had a vanity license plate. It dealt with the subject of UFO's. Never seen that before.

The customer explained that he was part of the UFO community and that he had been abducted 20 years ago in North Florida. He did not seem nuts, he lived in a nice south Tampa neighborhood and his story seemed credible.

Considering that NASA just announced that the missile fired into the moon last month did, in fact, find water on the moon, and lots of water. I think that pretty much nails down that the potential for life elsewhere in the universe is limitless. The mans story seems less nutty than it would have been yesterday.
