Holy Crap! I'm sitting in the Rodeo Bar and Grill on 3rd Avenue at midnight, watching the cabs go by. I counted 26 in 60 seconds, not counting the half dozen town cars. About 15 per light cycle. Maybe 3 or 4 private vehicles per light. Cabs stop in the middle of the intersection to pick up fares. A couple stops 2 cabs in the intersection in front of a cop car, he gets in one cab, she gets in the other and the date is over I guess.
The dump I'm staying at is just a few bloicks from the Empire State Building - I can see the top of it from in front of the hotel. Now I know why I stay at Hiltons. Ever stay in a hotel where you have to step up eight inches to enter the midget bathroom? At least they put a warning sign on the door, but I doubt I'll remember at 3AM.

- As a "Road Warrior" from the Puget Sound area in Washington State I travel about 50% of the time. So far in my career I've had the opportunity to visit most of the major colleges in the US and universities in Europe, South Korea and the Czech Republic. I maintain microscopes that can take multiple pictures of a single cell in multiple colors, attached to computers that assemble them as a 3D picture or movie that can be studied by reseachers. In my travels I encounter situations that are unusual, interesting or downright comical. The purpose of my blog is to report these to my friends, relatives and anyone else who cares to follow along on my journey. Just remember, be glad it's not you. It's Smee
