Trying to put the text under my photo. Check out my spy camera built into the sun glasses. It was a Christmas gift from George.

Tom and I have a discussion about Uber and the problems we don't think they can avoid, such as laundry, groceries, and asshole customers. Uber drivers will soon find out that all that glitters is not gold. Vomit on the back seat with Big Mac sauce mixed with French fries is so nice. You drive all night and your cab will smell like sex and livestock. How could Uber avoid this?

George got me this cool covert camera for Christmas to film field work. I can also use it in the taxi because it is hands free. It sort of like a GoPro. I think it has great potential. I only had to spend most of my Xmas day figuring it out. The original files are not compatible with Windows 10. I had to find an easy way to convert them. Plus, the record light has to pulse when it working and the directions do not tell you that. Lots of bugs, but I think I have it all figured out.

Sitting at my computer at home I have been able to resolve many things in my life that will finally give me the time to make considered post to this blog. Believe me, life can really get in the way. It can come at you from many directions and you are not always prepared for that. One of the cruel ironies of life is that it will advance weather you are ready for it or not. Resolution is a good thing. And I believe I have crossed some watersheds to get to where I am at now. I have many things going on in my life but the most important was to work on my health. When you are looking at death, that does become your priority. That situation is improving, and so am I. 2017 should be an awesome year for me on many fronts. That will be great because I can honestly say I have not had an awesome year in the last 8 years. The Obama years were not great for me. Lets just leave it at that. The time and effort I have put into the workout program I am on has been well worth it. It is finally

I'm using a fire hose (heavier than ropes) for Conditioning. I am restoring my health with the exercise and my blood pressure is now 128/70 taken at the doctor's office yesterday. I have also lost 16 lbs since my last visit in August. Remember when I used to wheeze and cough all the time - that was congestive heart failure! I am restoring my health by working out like a CrossFit enthusiast.

Uber is violating the privacy of its customers. We know that many creepy stalkers drive Uber to get close to hot women (something they could never do in their daily life) but Uber itself is spying on its customers. Several former executives have come forward as whistle blowers and what they reveal is stunning. Every American should be outraged at the wanton abuse by this company which is involved in providing meta-data to NSA spying operations. They are Big Brother.

I have joined the Alex Jones challenge of making your body great again. By using a morph between bodybuilding and Crossfit, I have gone from 298 to 273 since June 30, 2016. My goal is to get under 200 pounds. I have a long way to go but I am working hard and enjoying slamming this 20 pound ball into the ground as hard as I can. Believe me, it is awesome cardio.

My new battle ropes In April 2015, I lay in an emergency room at 298 lbs with a blood pressure of 222/165. They thought it was over. So did I. I could not have felt worse..dizzy, passing out, ringing jack hammer sound in my ears. Years of sedentary lifestyle, and bad food, had caught up with me. Luckily, I made it thru the day and decided to do something about it. I started swimming for exercise and a year later competed in a Masters swim meet. My weight was going down but I still needed to do something else. I then started a weight training and HITT cardio program. I started keeping a tracker on my phone on June 30 2016 and you can see the progress. I am down 24 lbs (probably 30 lbs in fat because I have gained muscle size) I am feeling better but I still have a long way to go. I love all the exercise toys and today I got a new one...battleropes!!! (The guy in the photo is not me). But, give me some time and I will get there - even being over 60. I got them today and when I got ho

ABC ACTION NEWS is a shill for Uber. At no time in this "demo" part 1 or Part 2 did they show a cab or an Uber car. In fact, they never stated which taxi service they called. Bad journalism. I bet the whole fucking thing was made up to pimp ride share. The service United Cab of Tampa provides is very fast. You could call 911 and we will get there before the police do. I really hate these guys being cheer leaders for ride share. You can see it in their face and body language. I challenge ABC News Tampa to ride in my car and see how our computer GPS locator dispatch works and how it would be impossible for them to have received the service they just claimed happened. I am waiting for them to contact me. I bet they won't. Perhaps, I will contact this reporter with an invite to ride with me and see how fast my service is. I will not let this go. A Google search of "Tim Fasano ABC Action News" yields more results then Adam Winer Adam Winer barely shows u

Most of Uber's money went to little Marco I have had this conversation many times with people in my taxi. The profile on the customer is a hipster, progressive, and a once supporter of Hillary Clinton. I try to explain that no matter how tight your jeans are; no matter how groomed your beard is: Uber does not support your politics. Uber was a major contributor to the Marco Rubio (extreme conservative) Presidential campaign. Believe me, your politics are yours but Uber does not care about your hipster lifestyle. All they care about is that you use their service at the detriment of the regulated companies that follow the law. In reality, you are a conservative but you just don't know it. How can I say that...look at this image and ask yourself if you believe in what Marco represents.

I am a regulated and law enforcement cleared driver This note shows who not to vote for in the last election if you believe in regulated business and industry. The politicians that are marked slashed in red are anti-business and they do not support the safety of the general population. If you notice my hack permit, that means I have been run through the NCIC crime data bank computer to ensure that I am not a dangerous fugitive. The percentage of criminals that drive Uber are very high. That is one of the reasons there are a million people signed up nationwide to driver for Uber, it is the only job they can get that does not background check. The bitch of it is that the politicians do not support background checks as well. Even the bitch Dana Young would rather her daughters ride with a child molester then a driver from a regulated company that screens its drivers thru law enforcement. Oh, it cost me $75 a year to renew my hack permit. This is something Uber drivers do not

Albert is a cab driver that follows the rules and pays his insurance, license, and operation fees Guest post by Albert Zee: Uber problem in Tampa Bay.....Taxi industry has been under siege since 2007-2008 due to economical collapse of 2008, then surge in new taxi cab start ups between 2010-204 which were still mostly operating according to all the rules and regulations prolonged recovery. Then uber came around with "great solution" to our transportation problems and said, what regulations, what commercial insurance, what background checks and what cars (we don't need to own any and our drivers don't need to be regulated because we are "rideshare" company), we will invade and steal the market by offering rides at half a price, we will put all those law obeying "taxi cartels" out of business by creating bogus press releases about advantages of uber, by lying to public, drivers and politicians, they don't know any better any ways. Curren

Taxi companies are dying nationwide The oldest and one of the largest cab companies in America is up for sale. They were headed for bankruptcy as Uber and Lyft have taken all of the street business and the drivers have defected because they cannot make money. The politicians, that claim to be Democrats, have no courage and will not do what is right to protect the public, and a regulated industry.

We are entering a Neolithic age of capitalism. Oh, that is a Cuban cigar from Havana - against federal law to have one - Screw 'em ( Check my Twitter bar to view videos of my opinion on this ) The Tampa Airport Directors of Operations are screwing the local cab drivers up the ass. The local taxi companies have an exclusive contract on "transportation for hire" at the airport. The taxi companies pay $250,000 a year for the right to pick up. (You have to pay to play when it comes to the airport...unless you are Uber or Lyft). Uber pays ZERO $$$. Do you know that?  And they are allowed to pick up in the tunnel where we are banned from. In fact, an ADO told me that for every 1 fare we pick up, Uber picks up 11. That is an outrage. It is time that the drivers protect their own rights and the taxi companies need to support us in this. Let me explain: The taxi business is not going well in Tampa. It is worse than what is commonly known. If it were not for the Logistica

Go to www.timfasano.com I heard United Cab was going to sue Uber and the HCPTC. I heard the drivers were going to sue Uber, Tampa Airport, HCPTC and others. Frankly, I am tired of hearing all this shit. Nobody really gives a fuck about this massive gypsy cab company. My only hope may be Donald Trump. I read that there are now over 1 million Uber drivers nationwide. That is an enormous figure. I think the only reason these people get this gig is because there are no jobs in the country that are worth a shit. I think what most of these drivers want is a good job with benefits. Perhaps, if that stuff was out there, the number of dumb shits doing the Uber gig would go way down. I know the ad says "get your side-hustle on." There is no hustle to what they do. Hustle is what I do on a daily basis to make my money. I have to ad lib the entire day and make opportunities happen. Sorry Uber scum...waiting for a ping is not a "hustle." Just keep working for your 50 c

I did take some time off to be with family and good friends for the Halloween weekend. I needed the distraction. I am sure you know that the HCPTC has entered into a temporary agreement with Uber. They are not going to get far. What is not known is that United Cab is tired of this illegal shit - the cowardly commission and politicians - who are shaking in their boots because of Uber. We are not. United Cab has a court hearing next week in which we have filed for an injunctive relief under the fairness clause of the Florida Constitution. Under the current plan, Uber will still not follow the laws and regulations, and they will do what they want. Taxi companies will still have to pay exorbitant fees which Uber is not compelled to pay. Yes, we did have fun on the camping trip.

Justin was the ultimate cab driver I found this file on an old photo cd I have from 2003 when digital photography first came out. Justin was sitting next to me on the old Hyde Park 21 stand and telling me about the poker tournaments he had been winning. Justin was from "back in the day."

I was very happy for Trump and America. I knew the polls were rigged and the asshole media was lying to us. Finally, we have a real president. I see God's hand in this.

Let's see if this published correctly. This is Tampa Bay this morning.

I just saw it live on a livestream in Reno. A guy pulled a gun and the storm troopers came out and pushed Trump off the stage. They got the guy and it looked scary. That was right after Trump accused the guy of working for Hillary Clinton for $1,500. Can you believe it. USA! You can see it here at Right Side Broadcasting The Hillary paid assassin being led off by Reno police

Dana Young swore the safest form of transportation for women was Uber. It seems many women are not so sure of that. In fact, many Uber women riders are now requesting female only drivers . Uber said they will look into that. Unfortunately, for Uber, that would be no different than wanting a white only driver. Sorry folks, you cannot have it any way you want it.

A very bad person with no honor or integrity I attended a meeting at the hockey arena downtown which was attended by all the Tampa Bay area state senators and representatives. In attendance was one Dana Young (R). When it was her time to speak, so told a story about a young women that was being raped. While the college student was being sexually assaulted, the student hit the Uber app on her phone and the police now knew the GPS coordinates of her location. What MS. Young did not disclose was that it happened on the UCLA campus and that it was an UBER DRIVER THAT WAS RAPING HER! "As students prepare to return to college, one thing female students cannot go without is caution. Assaults, especially sexual assaults, are a haunting part of daily life for so many students. Uber has made that nightmare even more of a reality . We tell our students that getting a driver when they’ve had too much to drink is the responsible course of action — it’s safer. But what happens whe

Tim and his new friend This guy is a new attendee to our annual Halloween Bigfoot camping trip. We always do it on the last weekend if October. That is the time of year when the weather changes for the better. I mean it finally gets cooler.

The authorities at Tampa International Airport had their plans spoiled by the very cab drivers they are fucking up the ass. Airport day was a flop https://t.co/Ne7JEe6RqH — Sasquatch Evidence (@TimFasano) October 17, 2016

The Clinton Machine is determined to stop the truth about the corruption of the Clinton Global foundation from getting out. These people need to be stopped along with the media that is in the tank for them. Never thought I would live in the old Soviet Union where you had a state run media.

Check out the Tampa Taxi Shots home platform Cool as shit. Typepad as amped up their mobile functionality and I am onboard. The original platform for Tampa Taxi Shots.ne www.tampataxishots.net t is beyond cool now. You can find it at also at www.timfasano.com see ya' there.

TICK TOCK BITCH....Hillary and Bill will finally be done in a few hours. Thank God for Julian and Donald. The world is better with them in it.

Uber will be shut down soon. They will not be able to thumb their nose at all laws.

We know the laws of physics, gravity, time itself is dependent on the bearing of the observer. If once immutable laws are relative, is our past an illusion? What if everything you ever experienced was just a product of your mind?. Orwell's  posters are gas lighting tactics used by the intolerant left to make you think what you know is real is not. They want you to reject what all the great thinkers for two thousands years have agreed on. Our history is going. The posters are being removed like Buddha's in the Afghanistan desert, The weapons of conquest are not simply bullets and bombs.  Rework prejudice, and hate against once eternal standards and you have weapons more powerful than nuclear energy because they are now found only in the minds of men. The omnipotent is now man, not a natural law allowing man determination. We are moving closer to jail. The free thinkers (conservatives) are now "the cool kids." They say bad words. They are free to be afraid. Thos

It seems most customers will give you a twenty dollar bill no matter what the amount of the fare. The first two fares I had today went short, and they did not let me down. They gave me twenties for 5-6 dollar fares. Yikes! That wipes out all of my change (cab drivers do not begin their day with thousands of dollars on us). I went on my third fare. He is going from Albany and North B to Howard and Mississippi (I could only spell this because of the jingle I learned in 5th grade). I ask him if he has exact change. He says no, he was going to give me a twenty. So we stop at the convenience store at Howard and Morrison. He goes inside, gets some cigs, and comes back. We are set. When I get him to his house, he hands me a twenty dollar bill! What! We just went to the store. He was a little drunk and said just keep it. I was not trying to rip him off. When he got out of the cab I looked at it and it was a 1928 twenty gold backed bill. You don't see many of th

This is all part of the false information campaign run by the armchair guys at Bigfoot Forums. They claim I shot this video of a Bigfoot. I had nothing to do with this. However, people see this and think I am a hoaxer. Nobody has ever produced any evidence of a hoax by me. You can count on it.

Shooting possible illegal activities I know in this world of social media and live streaming, the use of blogs may not be what they once were. Long before Facebook, people who put in the effort had blogs. They were able to send out information that the general public was not privy to. I'd like to think blogs still matter. This was a post I did and I think it brings up an interesting point of vice being under the nose of a news channel. "My brother believes blogs are more democratic than traditional media because they are not controlled by the media conglomerates. Hence, are more reflective of the public at large. I don't know about that but I do know I can be places the average person cannot, or would not want to be. This is why I always carry my camera with a zoom lense with me. The other morning, I got this shot of me near Channel 13 News. Behold, in front of the news station is an obviously illegal business. Can I prove that? No. But you tell me what is

Taken today on Real Clear Politics Do you see this folks? He was supposed to be a joke but he is now taking the lead against Hillary,  who was supposed to be unbeatable. This country could not have better news. Divine providence I am sure/

And you thought I was full of shit. Hillary is dying and needs to go to hospice and let the Presidency go to a more fit person. The lies are beyond belief. You liberals would vote for her if she was dead on election night and in a coffin. Alvin Toffler was right.

This lady is very sick. And now we know who the big black guy is that is always with Hillary telling her to keep talking.

The bitch blames her choking and hacking today on Trump! What did I tell you fucking people!

You can see me at the bottom and the early date of my article You can see from this Google search that I was ahead of all press on the matter of Hillary Clinton's health. (My thought was that her only wearing pant suits was covering up chronic heart disease. Swelling of the lower legs reveals many ailments.) I have not been able to find anyone that was discussing this before me.

If you know you are going to die, would you continue to play it safe? Would you just give in? There is another course. You could start doing what you wanted to do all along. Follow your dreams and not let death get the best of you. Knowing you are mortal has been a limiting force to so many. Jump out of the way of bulls. The first to pull the parachute cord. Always taking the perceived easy way out. Death wont' do that to me anymore. With my luck, I'll make it. The first 60 years have been a ride. I am looking forward to the next 60. I have so much to do. Death will not take that from me. Fuck you death.

A slamball, a kettlebell, and a 20 lb dumbbell These are my new toys. In my quest to transform my body, I have incorporated many aspects of the Crossfit theory. They combine combat style cardio with weight training in a dynamic, athletic way. The training is functional. For example, I will be 60 next month. From what I hear, there are people a little older than me that can't even get out of bed in the morning (or don't want to get out of bed in there mommies house). That will not be my fate. The best part of all this, is you can take it outside and enjoy the fresh air. I bring my toys with me. You workout three days in a row, then take one off.

The media had to crop the image to make it look like a large crowd Hillary Clinton drew over 150 people to her big rally at the St Petersburg Coliseum. In fact, small crowds seem to be the norm for her. I think this is an indication of her real popularity. The media is lying to us when they cook up polls that show her ahead by 15% over Trump who draws 20,000 at the Tampa Convention center with no problem. Why do I think this? As a taxi driver, I am in a unique position to do an unscientific survey of the area. I go into the poor, middle, and rich areas, and I have yet to see a Hillary yard sign. Have you? I see Trump stuff everywhere. I'm not kidding about the Hillary signs. I drive all day and cannot even find a Hillary bumper sticker. Can you? I think this is part of the media plan. By lying about the polls, they are hoping that Trump voters will stay home on election day. That is why we need to remain vigilant and show up in giant numbers will. I know the truth will even

Hillary Clinton's health is now becoming a major concern with her seizures, chronic cough, loss of balance, inappropriate reactions.

This is newly finished graffiti art in South st. Petersburg. I got a chance to talk with the Artist as he was doing it and it seems he was on a art Grant from the city. What an amazing talent and what an amazing way to beautify your city by thinking outside the box.

This is the permanent address of this blog now. When I die, this blog will continue and I won't have to worry about renewing a DotCom. How can I? I won't be around to do that. If the dotcom falls off because of non pay, then the site will be dead. Things are starting to happen and I'm getting Google traffic. Just let it happen.

Milo is inspiring many There is no doubt that there is a war on for your mind. When Milo is banned because he critiqued a terrible Ghost Busters movie, the real reason was revealed. The ban happened just minutes before Milo spoke at the "Gays for Trump" rally in Cleveland, at the RNC. Face it. If gays drop the Democrats, who only pimp then out, then the whole house comes crumbling down. The left will no longer have a hold on how they will control gays and blacks. It seems Trump is inspiring many who are joining the movement and that is a threat to Twitter and social media.

Marshall Law downtown Tampa 2012 I produced a documentary film about my experiences during the Republican National Convention was in Tampa. I am rather proud of that doc even if it does not have many hits on YouTube. Tell me what you think. Kevin helped me out with much of the video and still photography. He got some awesome images. Check it out.

Form is very important in the one arm row As you know, I  have been doing bodybuilding. Your back is the prime mover of your body and single arm rows are one of the best ways to work your middle back. Form is important. Make sure you use an exercise bench, dumbbell rack, or chair.

It lets you know the time I have become a workout fanatic. My health is improving (the most important thing on my plate right now) and I am feeling great. I noticed the new jumbo HD TV on the pool deck Tuesday when  was dong a HIIT workout. Other then keeping time, I could not see what functional use it had

Right after I set up the bench. Some assembly required. When you work a ton of hours, you don't always have it in you to get to a gym. You just don't have the time and that is not an excuse. That is reality. I am in the process of setting up a home gym to make it a lot easier on me.  I just got this adjustable bench today and it has been a hugh asset to my training You may be asking, why a home gym? Don't you do swimming? After a year of dedicated swimming, I did not get the results I was looking for. I have not given up on swimming. I have only switched gears in how I approach fitness. I really enjoy the weight training and the cardio. This is my direction for now.

This kid is a freak Devon Allen is fast man! There is no other way to put it. He won the 2016 Olympic trials in the 110 meter hurdles in a stunning 13.03! He was clearly the class of the field. Not only that, he will be a senior at Oregon Ducks this year where he is a wide receiver standout. If he wins in Reo, I bet he's a first round pick. Congratulations Devon

We had a blast on the Forth of July.

Bob Buckhorn - the mayor of Tampa. This cat is the one that allowed the food trucks into downtown Tampa, completely ignoring the restaurants that pay taxes and are located downtown. He justified it, in the same way he is Lyft, that in this economy we need jobs. True, what we need are jobs that people can live off of. You are making beggars out of people Buckhorn. I guess  its good your wife had a good job before you got elected because you would have been flying a sign like the rest of the bums on the streets. No offense to bums. At least they work and struggle every day. The hardest thing you ever did was take your mutt to the dog park.

The sun sets every night For years I lived on Island time. That is why I became a cab driver. I did not want to punch a time clock. I wanted to forge my own way, and come and go as I pleased. Things have changed and I've had to reorganize my life so I am sort of getting a weekly pay check. The major reason for this is Uber. They have cherry picked all the good business and left us with poor people at laundry mats and grocery stores, going around the corner for 3-4 dollars. You can't make it on that. When I was a real cab driver, each day was an adventure. I got to pick up all kinds of people and see the world thru their eyes. It was actually fun. When I was in the newspaper business, I had to arrive when they wanted me to. I had to work the days they made me work. I could only make the income they dictated I would make. I was actually glad when my department was downsized out of existence for I could now take off in the direction I was meant to go. Since I knew I wanted

I want to get out of this town so bad. This is taxi driver from Las Vegas doing a comedy stand up routine. He's trying. We had a group of cab drivers leave a few years ago to do stand up comedy. One of them was a Pakistani dude that did dot head jokes, and another guy called "The Fat Bastard." I have no idea what happened to them. The Juggling Taxi Cowboy is a star and was even on the TV show America's Got Talent. There is hope. There is hope beyond Uber. He's got to be having fun! You have to believe in yourself and keep moving forward

This is what the Democrats fear - a new generation of young blacks who can think for themselves. They do not have the tribe mentality that has infected the hood for decades. All of that was a product of the Democrat party to ensure a generational voting block. The world is changing and many blacks will not be brainwashed by politicians anymore. This kid and his friends are just cool!

The taxi drivers in Tampa are pissed. The reason is because HCPTC has dragged this out long enough. Their delays in negotiating with Uber and Lyft has only allowed them to get a foothold in the Tampa community. Now the people are used to their low ball service and it just may be curtains for the taxi industry. Then, the choices the consumer has in this market will be limited to just Uber. Isn't that what they want anyway. One of the useless meetings I attended. I have since stopped going. It is only a morbid reminder of what once was

This kid is the wave of the future. He knows the past generation was lied to by the race pimps. He wants to grow up in a world where he can be like Donald Trump. He knows being a business man pays more than welfare. This Black Lives Matter Pimp can't believe the young generation does not believe his lies
