I've been in my own boat sitting out in this water looking at this view. Awesome!-Sandee. This is a Tip of The Hat to Sandee, my Co-Author and blog wizard.

The Blogger's Prayer

Lord help me to learn to spell without spellcheck, manage to visit all that visit me, and post regularly - all in 5 minutes a day, so that I can clean house and take care of my family. Help me to not look at every occurrence in my life as a blog post, and to quit taking pictures of weird things to share as well. Please Lord, help me to stop talking about my blog friends as though they are next door neighbors or someone I have known all of my life. And help me dear Lord, to think of something witty and wise to post tomorrow.

Flashback Friday

I wanted to find a photo of one of the Cleveland Yellow cab company checker cabs but I could not, so anyway the point of flash back Friday is this what a taxi cab looked like back in the day not a Ford Crown Victoria, or a Chevy Impala but and Honest To God CHECKER MARATHON CAB. My Dad was a Cleveland Taxi Cab Driver. Hell I even drove a cab for a while when I lived in California. I had the pleasure of driving a cab for Mr. Erol DeBock's City Cab Company in West Sacramento California way back in the late 70's. When I find a picture of my cab I will post it.

    Way cool Mike. I had an uncle that drove a cab in Sacramento during the 70s too. He was robbed and killed while driving the cab one night. It was a huge funeral with hundreds of cab drivers in attendance. Sad.

    Have a terrific day. Big hug. :)

    It's fun to see those old cars. I grew up in the country with no cabs around, and to this day I've never ridden in one. Can you believe that?

    Mari, look at it this way Taxi's drivers are a poor mans chauffer.
