I may even purchase a fedora and start saying "swell."

Late for a downtown appointment, I had the bright idea of hailing a cab on Market Street.

I stood at an intersection for several minutes, waving. No dice.

Just as I was zipping my iPod into my backpack, a cab with an unlit dome light whipped around the corner. My hands were full! Eight minutes to the appointment! What to do?

I let loose a piercing whistle. The taxi pulled over, the rear door lock popped up with a satisfying "ker-CHUNK."

Snappy!
