Murphy showed up... But I beat him so far.
Got up today at 4:25am to catch a 7:05 flight from the Ft Laud. Airport to La Guardia. It's about 40 miles from the house. I am exiting the expressway, 595, to enter the airport when my right front tire goes flat. It is about 5:20am, and dark. I manage to change the tire on the expressway bridge, not get too dirty and still make my flight. At La Guardia, I get to the taxi stand, and the first two drivers don't know how to get to the Hospital 14 miles away. Driver #3 has a GPS, but in the middle of the trip tells me it's a flat rate 2x the meter rate. I tell him I want to speak to the 311 complaints and he says " it's OK the meter is running... You want to pay the meter rate?". Sheesh! Then my driver passes the destination and I tell him he missed the turn. He shows me his GPS and tells me " it's still 15 minutes from here...". So I had him let me out... No tip of course.
I hope the rest of this one day trip goes better...

I drove livery to earn extra money, but I carried maps etc, and a two way 800 mhz radio and a cell phone, if I needed directions to the odd place I was not familiar with.
LGA airport was always a horror, esp the PONY Cops, even when I was a LEO they tried to start trouble.
At least I am supposed to keep my hair...

Great Doctors there, I used to transport lots of patients to that facility.
I will say prayers for you. :angel2:
