Taxis?? Where in our area are there any interesting taxis?

Occasionally one sees a slightly interesting bus. But one hardly ever has a
camera in one's hand on such an occasion.

Instead of harping on his suggestions, what are yours?

Alan, if I've said something to offend you, I apologize. I really don't know
what it was, but this was only one of several snide or hostile comments you've
directed at me recently.

As for my response to Bowser, he and I live in the same metropolitan area,
where the taxis are as boring as they are anywhere. (A few years ago, the
mayor of Boston made a campaign promise to demand that all taxis in the city
be the same color - white.) I'm confident that Bowser recognizes this and took
my attempt at humor in the spirit in which it was intended.

However some of us live in areas which could hardly be termed
"metropolitan". Out here in Paso Robles, CA you would be hard pressed
to find the taxi, and I am not even sure what color it might be.
There is a rumor that some of the San Luis Obispo, and Pismo Beach cab
companies might be persuaded to do business in North County , but they
seem to be thin on the ground up here.
There are several limo services which cater to the wine tasting circuit.

I know that there is a guy who drives an old Checker Cab, but that is
his personal ride and not the legendary town taxi.

Come to think of it I haven't even seen that Checker around for a
couple of years now.

I asked for mandate suggestions.

Not only did you not offer any, you criticize what someone else offered.

So, no need to apologize, there is a need to suggest mandates.

I really don't care.

I'm trying to get ideas for a mandate. What do I get?

1. Molon taking this off to some cockamamie discussion about newsgroups.
2. Eric and others displaying their complete lack of understanding of
image sizing and prep of an image for web display.
3. Few of the participants proposing an idea for mandates.

Really.

I bear no hostility yo you or anyone, but for Christ's sake it would be
nice if people would answer the call.

OK!
How about this for a mandate; "The Street"?
This would be a shot which captures the character and identity of a
particular street, be it well known or one of local legend. It could
show activities on that street and/or the people and buildings who make
the street unique.

We have pedicabs in NY, some of which have very interesting looking
"drivers."
