I saw a documentary on the London exam, itâs like a graduate thesis by the time theyâre finished. I donât know what theyâre paid, but thatâs a lot of work for a cab license. Wonder if Uber has gotten itâs paws in there yet? Or if it can.
Several years ago my husband, who is pretty well-traveled, had a late-night flight for his first time into NJ. By the time he got his car and was trying to find the hotel he was done for the day. But the NY/NJ highway system was far from done with him. He always calls when he gets to his hotel room, but this time he called from his car, SWEARING that every highway sign directing him where he needed to go wound him up at the Holland Tunnel. It got funny as it went along, but was funnier the next day. (ââŚand did he ever return? No, he never returned, and his fate is still unlearned (poor olâ Charlie) he may ride forever âneath the streets of Boston. Heâs the manâŚwho never returnedâŚâ) the Kingston Trio âThe Man Who Never Returnedâ)

Only map he has is a NYC subway map, and right now he wishes he had taken the subway.

Cell phone? GPS???
Hope you guys are kidding.

This strip says Š1991.
Twenty eight years before the current Sunday strips.
Hard to realise how much has changed.
Â
A huge, freestanding cell phone in 1991 weighed a couple of poundsâŚ. but they were rare.
So called âcar phonesâ were somewhat lighter, but some were still tethered by a coiled cord to a box mounted between the front seats.Newer ones were attached to a heavy suitcase-like carrying case.
Â
The company I worked for bought one of the latter for my boss to use, coincidentally, in 1991⌠we were fascinated.
It cost over $2000, and calls, incoming or outgoing, were $2 a minute.
No texting, GPS, or screen of any kind.
Â
JJ is driving a taxi because Mike is unemployed, and theyâre broke, with a small child to feed.
Cell phone. Right.

âWelcome to Pennsylvaniaâ? Thatâs Exit 6 of the New Jersey Turnpike, about 80 miles south of NYC. Yeah, sheâs lost.

This is like one of those anxious dreams where youâre trying to get somewhere, and just keep getting further away, later for work, or whatever.
