Strange happenings at Ho Jo's

After reading Larry's post on his ride from Ho Jo's I remembered a trip I took out of there about 7 years ago.

I went to the lobby and the desk clerk told my fare would be out in a few minutes, where have I heard that before.

Shortly after that this dude in a $300. + suit and 3 bags in some kind of exotic leather that he won't let me touch and a New Jersey accent.

Hi gives me an address on a street I never heard of, that he says is in downtown. After a minute he tells me
oh that's in downtown Orlando, and then asks if that is a 20 minute ride.

Its 7:45 and I tell him it will take at least 90 minutes and could be 2 hours or more, he can't believe it and tells me he looked at a map and it didn't look that far.

This genius in the 300 dollar suit didn't know he could have flown into Orlando.

He is going there to sell something and being 90 minutes late is not an option and so he freaks out big time. The first time he calls he tells them the cab was late and he might be late, yeah that right always blame it on the cabby.

We made it in just over an hour and a half, he must have made 4 or 5 more phone calls to smooth it over with this person, once he told him I had a flat tire, man could this guy tell em.

Larry is right The Rays are one and a half out of first but what he does not talk about they are four and a half out of third. I don't know who that team in third is, but they have most of the pieces back together and they seem to to be making a run.

As for the big round ball, it looks like time is running out for Kobe and the Lakers, no team has ever come back from a 3-1 deficit, the record is 29-0 about to go 30-0.

While I always say "never say never" Boston has 1 to win of 3 and 2 are in Boston where the Celtics are 10-1 in the playoffs.
