Frank WakefieldI got a limo in NYC, it was a bit over $400, and was great...
We flew into LaGuardia, the driver was waiting with the sign, wife, kids, mom and I got in, he drove us down through Brooklyn, across B Bridge, stopped at ground zero, went through the curch there, then a ride over to a pier for a good look at the Statue of Liberty... up along Broadway, got a look at the Empire State building, Macy's, Time Square, up toward the top of 7th avenue to our hotel, we checked bags and rode on to the Met, where he left us... There were 5 of us, and I think cabs frown on 5. It was great!! Well worth it, glad I spent that.
I actually like Bruce. Sold him an unusual, seldom seen card, once. I agree with some of his thoughts, but not all. Some of his stuff is exactly contrary to how I think. When I saw he posted after me I knew that he'd feel differently, which actually made me feel better about my post. I read a Twain quote that reminded me of Bruce a few days ago...

royal we
ETYMOLOGY:
From Latin nos (we). The practice of using "we" to refer to oneself is called nosism.
MEANING:
noun: The first-person plural pronoun used by a king or queen to refer to himself or herself, for example, "We are not amused," a line attributed to Queen Victoria.
As it's often used by newspaper editors, the term is also known as the "editorial we". Mark Twain once said, "Only kings, presidents, editors, and people with tapeworms have the right to use the editorial 'we'."
