For instance, yesterday we took a Washington taxi and were surprised to discover that the driver was 94. He told us he has been driving a cab since 1949. He previously had other jobs, including working in the window dressing business and in the Army mapping office. He also ran a tour business. "I feel good!" he said quite proudly of his health. But he became upset talking about politics -- not national politics, but the politics of the taxi industry in the nation's capital.
