Tampa Taxi Shots

I picked up a guy today from the airport that looked like Elvis. There is a reason for that - he is an Elvis impersonator. How cool is that. He performs at local clubs, and is trying to break into Las Vegas. Like me, he has his goals. I include one of his videos here. Unlike some Elvis wanna bees, this guy is good. He also gave me a good ride and I made money of him. He was no "hound dog." posted from Bloggeroid

Tim and Santa Claus on vacation from the north pole The I nternational Brotherhood of Real Bearded Santas is having their convention in Tampa right now. We, as cab drivers, are thankful for their business and friendliness. I had a ride today from the DoubleTree Hotel on Cypress. The parking lot and lobey were full of the Jolly Saint Nicks. They did seem to be very charming and nice people. The couple I picked up were going to Busch Gardens. No Santa is camera shy, so my fare posed for a selfie with me. How cool was that! I got my picture taken with a real Santa - the department store one. These were not the "Bad Santas." These were the good ones.
