We're not in Kansas anymore

So, I get into SFO last night - a full 40 minutes ahead of schedule. I collect my luggage and head out to the Taxi stand. Out of the driver's seat pops a 60-something woman with spikey, electric blue hair. As we chat on the way to the hotel, I learn that she is (as she described herself) a straight, white non-Christian grandmother who enjoys going to a local Black Baptist Church every Sunday, in order to hear the sermon from the lesbian minister.

As a north-easterner, currently living in Tampa, this is not what I think of, when I use the word "Cabbie"! Welcome to San Francisco!

By the way, her favorite lesson from her minister is, "you're only as sick as your secrets."
