In 2013 there should be a hugh improvement in my shape and appearence. I may even go back to the beach. I do know Kevin and I plan to go out of state where there will be elevated positions to camp. Got to be in shape.
A Yellow cab driver was dropping off in North Boulevard homes. I am phone calls but no info yet. The story below just broke. I dont work the projects and this is why:
police are investigating after a cab driver was shot in the chest early Tuesday morning.
Officials say a taxicab driver was dropping off his passenger at 1100 W. Chestnut Street when a suspect suddenly appeared next to the taxi with a shotgun in his hands.
The suspect pointed a gun through the cab driver's window and demanded money.
The cab driver tossed money out of the window and suspect shot the driver in the chest with a shotgun.
The taxicab driver drove off with his passenger still in the vehicle and got 100 yards to the intersection of W. Chestnut and N. Willow, where he crashed into a police car that was patrolling the area.
The officer approached the driver and realized he had been shot.
The officer, who was not injured from the crash, called an ambulance for the cab driver.
The passenger in the back seat of the taxi had attempted to exit the car during the robbery, but was unable to get out.
He is not suspected of being a part of the robbery.
He wasn't harmed during the crash.
The suspect is described as a black male, 5'7" to 5'8", wearing all dark clothing.
He fled the scene and has not been captured. About a half hour before the shooting, Tampa Police says a caller reported a suspect seen walking around the area with a gun.
The cab driver is in serious condition at St. Joseph's Hospital. He was not been identified
I'm going to miss this Little guy. This little Tabby cat has been hanging around United Cab of Tampa. He is real friendly and everyone pets him and feeds him. Now he has a real home.
The former mechanic JD took him home. JD has always had cats and I'm sure he will provide a nice home for him. The little guy will be missed.
I am glad the Tampa Bay Buccaneers locked Greg Schiano into a.five year contract when he was hired. He was clearly the right man for this job.
His formula of discipline, detail, conditioning and not suffering problem childs was just what this team needed.
He may in the future be sought out by teams that refuse to develop. He will be viewed as a turnaround expert and would be in high demand.

The reason I like working for United Cab is the right to work the airport. There are some sweet rides coming out of there and anyone of them can make your day.<br/>
Following up on what I said yesterday about the taxi leases in Tampa. Why would I want to work for Bay and Beach who rips their drivers off by charging 24 hour drivers $102 Monday thru Saturday. Sunday is the only day they can make money and they cannot work the airport. That is a fools bargan.<br/>
<br/>
I know Nancy is spreading her drivers into Polk county to run the Lighthouse charges. Her men must be desperate.<br/>
I like the airport. I make money at the airport. I like it where I'm at.<br/>
I was behind this cab at a red light this morning when I noticed it was the 555 taxi. That's the guy who came over with Paul Hinton from Clearwater Yellow. I also think he drove for Bats taxi.
He told me he made $250 a day no matter what time of year it was. He said he had been driving seven years and was the best taxi driver there was. Lets do the math.
With lease being $102 a day, and gas at $4 a gallon, you would need to drive 200 miles a day (100 being metered) to cover expenses. You would then need to drive 250 miles (125 metered) to make that. That would be to Miami and back each day. Not possible.
You certainly won't do that hanging around Westshore and Kennedy empty at 5:30 in the morning.
My popular blog TampaTaxi Shots is still here. However, my primary taxi blog is Tampa Taxi Hack on the superior (not free) Typepad.
There are more functions and its formatted for the new media. Since I use lots of images and video, it works out better for me.
Check it out.
Greg Schiano coaches his first game today as the head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It will at least be on a wet field.
There is a massive thunderstorm moving in off the gulf of Mexico. It could clear up before the game but it is dumping a ton of rain on Tampa right now.
Anything that can slow down Carolina Panther quarterback Cam Newton down is a good thing.
