"Why?..."  The most commonly asked question posed to me by the rude and uncouth - when such a person learns that I bought and travel around in a retired New York City Taxi Cab.  My answer is simple: because I like it, since I don't usually buy and drive cars that I don't like.  But here is my story, of first why I bought and love this rambling wreck of a car, and what follows with our various travels.  Unlike taxicab confessions with it's parlor like discussions that take place IN the cab, mine are always discussed outside of the cab - and from all over the place.   (And not necessarily the most brilliant convo's on earth either....no philosophical atom splitting, no deep Mensa neurological brainteasers - and certainly no solving of any ancient algorithms anytime soon - I mean, it is after all, just an old cab)

Disclaimer: The Ruse's Rants section is not always Taxi related - there is a mix of real event blogging, awareness and, on occasion - sarcasm.  In times of sarcasm, there does exist at times, Rated R content/adult humor - a sense of humor is required, but most especially, probably best someone be over the age of 17.  The rest of the site is marginally appropriate for most any age - but best to have mom and dad take a look first *just* to make sure.  Under this section, there is also heartfelt awareness blogs too - it's not ALL sarcastic drivel - I actually *DO* try to make some positive differences in the world.  Thanks for checking out my website; I appreciate it!
