After the busy last couple of weeks, this week is dead. Limousine runs are down by more than three-quarters, leaving we drivers with airport transfers and an opportunity to drink plenty of coffee. Down time is fine by me, but not too long, mind. My two-week fund of tips won't last forever, even if my coffee habit only runs to the cheap stuff.
The talk of the country is the weather, with Florida suffering under the burden of close-to-freezing temperatures. I know that must seem ludicrous to those folks in the north (and the real north, Canadia) but c'mon, everyone needs something to complain about. Snowbirds and natives and blow-ins like me are alike in wondering when Florida started imitating Iowa. Iowa without the snow, the clouds, the short days and the -40 temps. But it's relatively cold, y'know?
Which is actually a great relief for we in the limo trade. For much of the time, we have to run the cars with the air-conditioning on full-blast. Working in a dark suit and tie in this climate is rotten until this time of year. Now, it's appropriate. But for the other nine months, staying cool is a big priority. Frankly it's uncomfortable. All of which is a long-winded way of saying that I always keep the car running with the a/c on, and stay inside that sucker whenever possible.
This week, that's not necessary. I might be the only person in the country grateful for the cold blast. I heart you winter.
