Too Much Monkey Business

As I type this nonsense I'm having a Del Monte Fruit Natural Tropical Medley for a snack and I know what you're thinking: Damn Rick, ain't ya got no cookies? Well, ya. I do but its eating healthy for me now. One day at a time man.
After the sun had set last night it cooled right down and it felt almost magical out there and with the windows rolled down I prowled the streets in search of victims (whoops) i mean customers.

Early in the shift there were some business people to be driven to an office building for their important little meeting. Of course, the world would come to an end if there weren't enough business meetings because Lord knows there is business to be done.
Soon enough though some other people came along: A waitress headed to work to start her shift and then a young lady going to the Amtrak Station heading back to New York. She was talking to her mother on the cell phone and then suddenly hung up on her and I said "Poor Mom!"
She looked at me and said "What?! You should hear her! She's so annoying!"

Then I picked up a girl who looked just like Lindsay Lohan so I said you know, you look just like Lindsay Lohan when she was still cute. She said yeah a lot of people say that.
A while later I took two ladies, one from Australia and one from New Zealand. They're with a tour group and they went to meet some friends for dinner in the North End. We talked a lot about this country and how much they liked it. Big and wonderful but they found themselves amazed at how backward we are in some areas of society such as the level of poverty, the health care system or lack thereof and the war. I told them we're working on it. Hopefully we can regain the respect of the world in November.
Next there were two Indian gentlemen headed to Punjab, an Indian style restaurant in Quincy. Punjab is a State in northern India in case you were wondering. I went later to bring them back to their hotel and they said it was very good. Just like home. I should check it out sometime.
My last fare of the evening were two folks that I had met the day before. This time they tried to sell me on some internet scam. They said they'd make me a millionaire but they needed $500 to get me started. Sounds like too much monkey business for me to be involved in.
