I Think I can I Think I Can I Think I can

Yesterday was the fourth of July and Debbie and I went to the Suisun waterfront for the festivities. Well for part of them anyway. We wanted to see the Band "The California Cowboys". We got a cab into Suisun at about 4:30 and the band started at 5:30. We were able to get great seats on the lawn in front odf the stage with easy in and out access for her wheel chair. The Cowboys put on a great show. Knowing how difficult it would be to get a cab home if we stayed for the fireworks I decided to leave at 7:30 so we walked over to main street and I called for a cab. The dispatcher told me that they would not send one into downtown Suisun because of the traffic congestion. I explained to the dispatcher that there was hardly any traffic at this time and that it would be no problem getting in and out. Still they refused to send one and told me we would have to walk to the Fairfield side of the Railroad tracks. This posed a problem as Fairfield and Suisun are connected via a Pedestrian overpass that goes over the tracks. It is a steep incline and I knew that with Emphysema it would be a problem for me to push her over the bridge. As we were ascending The overpass all I could think about was the story about "The Little Engine That Could". I just kept saying to my self "I think I can, I think I can". After having to stop half way up and hit my inhaler we finally made it to the top where it becomes level. There I rested for about five minutes and the we proceeded to Descend the other side. It was all I could do to keep the chair from getting away from me. We finally made it to the other side and I called A cab and they said it would be about 10 minutes or so. The cab shows up and some other woman weent running to it and jumep in and the driver drove off.

I was so tired and pissed off at this point thatI called the dispacher back and told her what happened and she said she would send another cab in about 20 minutes. An hour later, No cab so I called back and she said it was on its way. Another hour goes by and No Cab. So I called back and she said that she only had one driver. The bussiest night of the year and only one driver. I could hardly believe that. I guess i got a little nasty and she said "What the hell You want Me to do?" I flatly said "I want you to quit telling me 10 t0 20 minutes when you know that is not the case. Then she responded with "Screw you Now im am not going to send one at all" So being as it was a 5 mile walk home I was forced to call back and apologize for nothing just to kiss her ass to get a cab home. The taxi service in Fairfield SUCKS!!!!!. I NEED A CAR!!!!!!
