NYC Taxi Limo Commission now accepting iPods

Hey guys.. John Mayer here.

I'm finally back. I've had to take a little vacation as I've been totally haggard by another holiday season.

The holiday's are a time where folks either travel to meet with family or get out and see the world. Personally speaking I fancy heading out to Cabo with a few lady friends and being pampered in Cabo's perfect weather. But I digress.

Unfortunately not everyone gets to enjoy their time away and sometimes you just wanna get away from your getaway; like some poor 20-year girl that was relieved of her iPod by a NYC cabbie.

Yup, as bad as that sounds it just gets worse.

According to Elliott.org, the 20-year old was on her way to the airport on a yellow taxi and attempted to pay with her credit card. Although she had used plastic to pay for her comings and goings while in the Big Apple, there appeared to be a malfunction with the cab's credit card reader prompting the driver and Port Authority policy to threaten to "book" the 20-year old for fare evasion.

Long story short the girl gives up the iPod and cries all the way home, the Port Authority says no names no issues, and the TLC said since it was okayed by the PA policy, then the issue is between customer and driver (i.e. tough shit we're stayin' out).

Well being a resident of the city so nice they named it twice, Ms. Lenhart if you're out there... I'll send you a fake free copy of "Where the Light Is" on Blu-Ray if you keep me posted.

Peace Out,
FJM
