I am saddened

I am really not sure how much longer I can be a taxi driver. I really enjoy driving in San Francisco and meeting all the cool interesting people but I am not making as much money as I was in the past. In fact the two really big days this past year, I barely made any money. This is very sad. I don’t know if it is the cost of living in the city or the competition with Uber and Lyft.

I haven’t been posting many stories because I am just not picking up that many people. The few people I do pick up are still wonderful amazing people and I should still tell their stories but it makes it very difficult too when it is so slow.

I really want to continue driving taxi because I love it but if I cannot make any money doing so, I need to find work elsewhere. I am in the process of looking at other places to work. That is a big struggle as well. Fun times in my life.

Thank you very much for sticking with me. I know I haven’t been around as much as I really would love to be.
Thank you very much for reading my blog!

I love you very much!

 May I finish FriendFinder-x?
When I do use one there is no better reaction
then having the driver turn around and say you
gave me way too much here and I say it should be
x amount.I hope you have a great evening and drive safe!
Which is met with a resounding THANK YOU!
Using more than all the road!

Thank you so much!

I have been that person, many times. I try to make sure people know how much they are giving me. Sometimes I am not sure they really do.

 I know how much you love your taxi driving. I just hope things pick up soon

I do love driving taxi. I miss all the fun I used to have. It makes it hard to want to go to work right now with it so slow right now. I am keeping the hope around. I do have to think of my families's needs too.

Thank you very much! I have a few "saved" back stories, maybe I will take time off soon and just write them.

Thank you so much for your support.
