Taxi Dave 2023

 


Every annum during the October run up to Halloween Taxi Dave goes to streets to meet the zeitgeist in his trusty classic Checker Taxi. Come along for the ride. Daily recounts. Weekly updates. You never know ...

Look out! Here he comes ...


"Loaded for Bear" ...


As of now ... So, what's so?


Who's that? Well, that's our good friend Elmer Fudd. Oh, and Judge Arthur Engoron; he's presiding over 45's — that pesky wabbit —  NYC trial early October 2023. All in good fun, right Judge? 


"Tray"? "Tay-Vis"? "Tra-Tay"? 
Ain't love grand. I'm sold!




"Where to, your Holiness?"
"Nowhere, in particular."
"I can't go far, the tank's nearly empty."
"Don't stop! Let's get there!"



Today this post is on October 10, 2023. Grim news. I am at a loss to do anything other than to stay quiet and sit with the Peace in my heart. No place for smart, witty, cute, humor. Time for our tears.


October 11, 2023: The truth is we are riding our lives in a vast and infinite peace. Let's not let our worst doings even our best, for that matter distract from that innate reality. What's done is in the rear view mirror. But, you say, look at the news! ... There'll be more war tomorrow. Maybe so. But, we can go into tomorrow with our eyes for peace. As Jackson Browne put it: take it easy ... "don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy. " 

"Take your stand"



It's worldwide "paddidle" day!

When I was dating spotting one and exclaiming "paddidle! " required a kiss.

We're all growed up now. When you see one ... just love the one you're with.

And, just so you don't get the idea that it's just for when you're on the road ... On the road of life, just look up at the moon. "Paddidle! "


The "Ring of Fire" annular eclipse last Saturday, October 14 in the Yucatan peninsula at Chichen Itza. Last one seen there was 400 years ago.

Probably a gazillion interpretations. An omen. A harbinger of a new era dawning. A portal for some bad shit to come on in.

For your Taxi Dave ... It was one jackpot fare!

We be needin' some "Durga" arounchere.

The nine days of Navrati ... Sunday, October 15, 2023  next Tuesday, the 24th.

It's a party! Everyone's coming.


Dark times ...



Narrow as F tunnel, poor visibility, driving on one's own light.

So, Pilgrim, let me ask you ... By what light are you driving?

Maybe more to the point ... Who's your driver?


Word of the year? Word for the age!


The roadmap has been well known for centuries ...

To whom it may concern ...

Question: is the promised land just on a map?

Question: is jihad just with fists?


The really Big Gun is on both sides. Just gotta meet in the middle.






In the Holy Land it's not about cows ... it's about people.
