This will be a Three Part Story…..

Okay here we go..Cabby Ken drove Dec 24/25/26../09

The night before Xmas: and all thru the Cab, nothing was stirring not even a Push Broom..
Push Broom!…What the hell does a Push Broom have to do with Xmas?
Cabby Ken gets dispatched to almost the end of Long Lake Road, for those not familiar with road..You are in the Bush! Just after Midnight..2am to be exact..Okay so it’s Xmas day morning…fml…

Arrive at address. Waiting for fare, out of the Corner of my Eye I see a Man with a Push Broom, in the middle of a Snow Covered Field, and he see’s me..Next thing you know Push Broom Man is at my rolled down Window..I remind you again it’s 2 in the morning! Guess what happens NEXT? you will have to read on to find out!

The night of Xmas: Cabby Ken gets dispatched to Chinese Restaurant, Beautiful 80 year old lady from T.O, who was in town for Family.
Margret not her real name told me she got Lonely, in the Crowded Restaurant and wanted to go back to her Hotel. Her People did not show.
Margrets Story started off by Her being the 7th child in a 9 Family Home!..You don’t see #’s like that any-more..To expensive for Fast Food, and Prepackaged shopping..Hard to find the good home cooking anymore! Up’s i’m getting off the topic..more on that later.
So Margret’s Family was abruptly taken away from her when she was 12 year’s of age..they where all put into different reform schools, and Houses. Margret was Raped at 13, by a priest..Later Married an Alcoholic, who died of Liver failure..Lost contact with her whole family..Sued the Church and Won! Margret ate Alone the night of Xmas/09.. Oh and did I tell you..this was a 6 minute Fare to Margret’s Hotel..
Have you Hugged Your Family Today..Because I sure Gave Margret a Big Hug at the Day’s Inn.

Oh, Back to Push Broom Man..He Started Talking to me, and Guess what he was Doing with the Push Broom?
Stay Tuned!

The next night..Boxing Day

The Dirty Laundry Guy:

Cabby Ken gets dispatched to well known location..Fare Waiting at Snow Bank with 2 Garbage Bags!
Take me to Kathleen Wash@Dry! Being the Good Cabby i told him i wasn’t sure if it was open, due to Boxing Day.. Dirty Laundry Guy say’s Lets Go..Wash@Dry not open!..But Bar next door is.
Dirty Laundry Guy, say’s keep the Meter running I’m going in for 2 Beers..Not a Problem i say.
After 15 minutes, Cabby Ken starts to think there may be a Problem, all i have for Collateral is 2 Garbage Bags, and they could be filled with anything..Almost went in to trunk to Check, then Dirty Laundry Guy comes out of Bar..
He get’s his good info from fellow drinkers that such and such Laundry is open..So off we go! Arrive and again not open..but guess what another bar..2 more drinks..some more great Intel, and we repeat the process for the 3′rd time. Long of Short, No laundry mats open..But Dirty Laundry Guy felling pretty good, and i’m glad he was “because he had to go home” And Explain to his wife why Laundry still Soiled, and why he is Sauced! Too Funny

Okay: I know you’ve been waiting for the Push Broom Guy, but first let me say, I had a great time driving over the Holiday’s, met some great people, only had to kick one out, and had One Runner $7.10 fare..Way to go Running Brave..Clocked over 1,000 km in 3 Days..and thank-you all for your Generosity.
