They [drivers] undoubtedly pay no attention to them anyhow... kind of like
NYC cabbies. Trying to get a Manhattan cabbie to take you into Brooklyn can
be maddening. (I do, by the way [and it's way too complicated a story to get
into here] have reason to know that certain "contracts" [presumably, even
verbal ones] there are only considered binding if in Portuguese.}


Tee hee. The way I used to get a cab to Brooklyn as a teenager was to
get IN the cab before I told the driver where I wanted to go. This
always worked.
