She wrote about getting into taxis and waiting for the disco lights to go on ALA Cash Cab; and how they never do. I mean I guess they do sometimes or there wouldn’t be a show; but with 13,000 taxis in NYC, the odds are definitely stacked against you.

But at least the cabs in the U.S., Cash Cab or not,  have all their floors. It wasn’t until our cab in Puerto Vallarta started moving that we noticed that a big part of the floor in back was actually missing! And seatbelts? Please. I sat between Brett and Amanda and kept my arms out in front of them in what would’ve been a futile attempt to restrain them had we been in a wreck.

The condition of the cab made me nervous and it didn’t help that our driver seemed to be related to every other cab driver in the city and enjoyed having animated conversations with them turning his head left or right as need be while he was driving

Looking straight ahead while driving a taxi not required in Mexico I realized.

I digress. Back to the cash cab. Sorry, I can’t help you find that. However, if you do want the disco experience in a cab and you just happen to be in Aspen, CO, playground of the Richey Riches, you can call the Ultimate Taxi.

We’ve been in Aspen a few times and I’ve seen the taxi around. It looks like a lot of fun. (Mr. No Fun wouldn’t spend the $125 for us to take the 30 minute ride.) I actually may have enjoyed it more back in the early 70′s when I had a few enhanced sensory experiences. Alas, those days are far behind me now.

Just ignore the twit in the clip.

Unless you are extremely fit, why would you want anybody staring right there? Wasn’t the “Bootylicious” fad  (which thank God has passed), enough? If Amanda still lived at home, I wouldn’t want her wearing these. I guessing that most men wouldn’t want their wives wearing these, bring undue attention to that part of their anatomy. Of course, there are always some that want their partner’s assets on display for all to see. So others can be envious. That’s the whole “I paid good money for those boobs and I want everyone to see” mentality.

So, as a public service, I decided to put these here for all to see who hadn’t already seen them. The holidays are approaching after all. (You’d better like someone a lot to order a pair of these for them). Currently they have 4 styles, ranging in price from only $159 to a whopping $579!- and you provide the jeans! When we were last in Aspen we went to Boogie’s diner. There is an airbrush artist that leases a small space there. They do beautiful work on clothing at a fraction of these prices. They’re quite pricey for sure; but almost $600 for just a pair of eyes on jeans? I don’t think so. Not to mention, you’re sitting on the paintings all the time. Just how long are these going to last, even assuming you baby them? I just re-read this. Do I sound like a crotchety old woman? I’m not- at least not crotchety that is.

Anyway, different strokes… , as they say. Today’s trivia answer-  a heavy winter fog containing ice crystals.

In defense of Aspenites everywhere, they were very nice to all of us when we were there, even though they knew we weren’t in their little “club”. (We were there in the summers doing festivals). In the winter though we were there to ski. Aspen is a gorgeous place. Be aware however, to live there however I believe your % of body fat must be in the single digits. (One city employee has calipers and checks everyone who applies prior to having their utilities connected).Today’s trivia answer- 3- the U.S., Liberia and Burma
