Now that the World Cup is well underway, I need to mention that New York last week installed Operation Illegal Ride. I saw this on the news on June 9th, but that was before Capt. Oops, hit the airways. So, this fancy phrase is an initiative that was created by New York Authorities who are launching a massive, multi-agency operation to combat predatory taxi hustling and fare gouging at JFK, LaGuardia, and EWR airports.

I didn't come up with all the thoughts on my own; that was off a Google search with an AI answer, just a little edited.

The $100 million campaign will be deploying a surge of police and real-time AI surveillance to target illegal drivers ahead of the summer travel and, of course, unsuspecting travelers who are coming here to see the games at Met Life-, sorry, New York New Jersey Stadium.

Wow, those guys doing this illegal activity better be careful! Truth be told, though, they've been around forever. Nothing new here. Actually, a few years back, one guy once told me, if he gets a fine, it's the cost of doing business. Nabbed at noon, back in operation by 3 pm, the latest. They could spot a undercover agent in a heartbeat. You really want to catch these guys, ask a chauffeur. We see them all the time.

I once was outside the TWA terminal at JFK, the one that looked like a spaceship. Now that terminal is the TWA Hotel with 512 rooms. I haven't been out there, but that sounds pretty incredible. Anyway, the story I'm trying to tell is about this beautiful woman and how she was walking up to all the chauffeurs waiting in the oval for passengers and asking for a ride to American Airlines, which was on the other side of the airport.

What the heck, I thought. A quick ten-minute ride and a few extra dollars in my pocket. But I know better. She's too pretty!

Sure enough, she found a sucker to say yes, and as soon as she got in the car, swoosh, just like a Jalen Brunsen three from downtown, the NYTLC (the you can't hustle, police) swooped in and arrested him for hustling.

Look, this has been going on for as long as there have been airports and foreign travelers at any of our tri-state airports. Unless you are a seasoned traveler, how would you know who's who?

When I was working at EWR back in my Fugazy days, there was a guy who would strut around Terminal B, asking anyone with a suitcase if they needed a ride before they made it out to the taxi line. He would make his solicitation, and if successful, he would call a driver on his walkie-talkie, who was parked in the shuttle bus lot, and around he would come up to door two to get his ride. Hey, I'm sure the cops must have known what he was doing, because we all did. He was just one of those guys who knew everyone, and everyone liked him. He was a jolly ex-boxer just trying to make a living, so why give him a hard time?

Now, about them Knicks. Were you in the crowd of roughly two million fans along the Canyon of Heroes in NYC yesterday? That must have been some scene. I did watch some of it on TV, but I don't think I could have done that. People were there in the early AM to get a spot. Crazy!

Here's one you probably didn't know. The first Canyon of Heroes was on October 28th,1886, it was a parade for the dedication of the Statue of Liberty. The workers in the buildings weren't allowed to leave their desks, so instead they started throwing the ticker tape out the windows, and a tradition began.

Do you think the US Men's Soccer team has what it takes to someday be in the Canyon?

Be safe.

"No Stinkin' License"

Back in 2008, and a few years before, Perfect Limo needed to find chauffeurs with a CDL license, which made hiring chauffeurs a little more challenging then in the earlier years. Oh, you could drive a regular sedan or SUV with a normal DL, but if you wanted to drive the larger vehicles, limousines, vans and buses you needed to pass the Commercial Drivers License test. It was no longer the "can you walk, talk and chew gum at the same time" era like in the 80's. This was a good thing though.

Now, I bring this up, because in order to fly a plane, you know, those big things with wings that go up to 35,000 feet in the air and have a few hundred people on them, you need to have a Airline Transport Pilots License or ATPL as it is referred to.

Turns out, Air Canada had a pilot who was employed for 17 years flying those planes that I'm sure are a lot more sophisticated than the 'Kitty Hawk" that Orville and Wilbur took off in 1903. Also, they were probably thinking, "license, we don't need no stinking license".

Best part, Capt. Oops, who flew over 900 flights in that time span, retired in 2025. (Upon further review, he was actually released) He was probably sitting in his backyard enjoying a nice cold beer and wondering how many more minutes until he has to move the sprinkler. When in come the authorities and arrest him.

Apparently, he must of been a good pilot and he did have a pilots license, but in Canada, you need this ATPL certification. So, the problem as I see it, he was just living in the wrong country!

We had a part time employee a few years back, like in the 80's once again, who at her place of business they hired a guy. On his application he stated that he worked in Ohio for 17 years straight. Steady employment, that's good. Then after a few weeks, somehow, they discovered that those 17 years he was a painter alright, but at the Ohio State Penitentiary. Hey, it was steady employment!

I guess background checks isn't such a bad idea after all.

What about those Knicks and thier historical comeback! When the game got done, I was happy, did a little fist pump and said "go Knicks, baby". Then went to bed. But, for thousands of fans who were in NYC Wednesday night after the victory, they thought it would be better to celebrate the victory by doing dumb things like, damaging vehicles, fighting with police and even throwing an egg at a Spurs player, Victor Wenbanyama.

56 people were arrested. How is getting arrested a celebratory thing? I must live a very boring life.

One more thing. This Sunday is the Montvale Chamber of Commerce June 14th, which is 14 years of this wonderful event. Come out and see us the VIP Tent between 10 AM and 5 PM.

Be safe.

Yesterday, Doris and I went to NYC to see The Great Gatsby, the 2: 00 PM matinee. We always think we're too old for going to the afternoon show, but I'm not too sure about that. It's about eating! How's that, you may ask? Let me explain. 7:30 PM show, you are eating at maybe 5:00 to 5:30. Way too early. But the 2 show gets you done at 4:30, time to get home for a 7:00 PM dinner. All good.

We had pretty decent seats, and we were one seat off the aisle. I'm thinking to myself, this is great, I'll be able to slide one seat over and sit in that vacant seat, and stretch my legs.

After getting familiar with our seating, we went to use the facilities. In the old days, it was also to buy my Twizzlers, which the theaters don't have anymore. Why did the Twizzlers get dumped? When we came back, we were surprised to see a woman sitting in that vacant seat. After some small talk, it turns out she was a school teacher from Charleston, SC, who taught theater to grammar school kids. She was in the city to visit some friends and see some shows. I'm still upset she took my aisle seat.

Anyway, she mentioned to us that Madonna, you know, Madonna!, was going to be doing a free show in Times Square at 5:30 PM. Why not? The Gatsby got done at 4:30 PM, so all we had to do was kill an hour. So, we made our way to Times Square and mixed ourselves into a pretty decent spot, although we had no clue where Madonna's stage was going to be. It was getting crowded, like uncomfortable, with a pot smell amongst the crowd.

5:30 became 6:30, and still no Madonna, when all of a sudden one of those big billboards that light up the streets of Broadway opened up, and a stage appeared in the wall. The crowd went crazy. Although from where we were standing, it was hard to make out anything that was going on. The saving grace was it was all captured on the massive video screen to the side. She looked good for 67, but she made sure to make those up and down dance routines be done with a lot more caution than she would have done 20 or 30 years ago.

Yes, can you imagine she started in the early 1980's, and here we are mixed amongst this crowd of young people celebrating Gay Pride month who were all singing along to her songs, like 'I Love New York' and 'Get Together' which were out in 2005. I had no clue she was this popular in 2026, because the only Madonna song I ever sang along to was 'La Isla Bonita,' which was released in 1987. Talk about withstanding the test of time!

In the early years of Perfect Limo, we did have the pleasure of working with a Los Angeles-based limousine company that had connections to all the stars of the 80's, both screen and stage, and when they would arrive in New York, we would transport them around town. It was fun. Just like being in that crowd watching Madonna, even if it was only for 15 minutes.

Be safe.

A little while back, I wrote about a Waymo vehicle that drove away with a customer's luggage at a California airport.

Could you imagine one morning, enjoying your morning coffee and getting ready to head off to work? You get into your car, and as you prepare to back out of the driveway, your vehicle's sensors start bleeping away. What the heck?

You get out of the car to see what is going on, only to find out you can't get out of your own driveway because there are a whole bunch of white computerized vehicles circling and moving aimlessly around with no sense of direction as to where they are headed.

I saw this report a couple of weeks ago about Waymo cars being stuck on a side street in an Atlanta suburb. There were enough to clog the street. When I Googled this to find out more, this was not the only issue they have had over the past few years in existence.

Maybe that chauffeur who yaps a little too much, really isn't that bad after all? Look, I'm not picking on our guys, but the majority of them like to talk.

Thinking about chauffeurs who talk too much has always been a challenge as to which customers not to send them to. Because not all of you like to have a conversation while you are making your way to wherever! You might be doing work in the vehicle or making a phone call. When, all of a sudden, you ask innocently, "How are you today?"

Was that a mistake, because now the chauffeur, who may be working on his fourth cup of coffee before 7 AM, thinks this is his opportunity to let you know how his day is going!

Sometimes it works the other way. We may get a phone call from a customer who wondered why the chauffeur didn't talk at all to them. "Did I say something wrong?"

Look, I know myself, it's hard for me to be on an elevator for thirty seconds without striking up a conversation, let alone a two-hour ride in a car to JFK, crawling along the Van Wyck Expressway!

"How are you today?"

Just when you think flying has thrown you every possible curveball, along comes the "sinkhole". Yes, LGA had a sinkhole on Wednesday on Runway 4-22, which wound up causing 321 delays and 288 cancellations as of Thursday. Hope you weren't trying to "get out of Dodge" for the coming weekend, because they are still mounting today and probably until Saturday sometime.

Sinkholes have been popping up, wrong phrase, dropping down lately in the Tri-State area. Remember when it only happened in some "where the freak is that" small town in Florida?

Airports have been in the news for reasons we really don't want to know about. Like, envision tooling down the NJ Turnpike and as you glance over to take a look at the airport to imagine where you want to head to on vacation, then there is a sudden roar of jet engines and an abrupt thump on the top of your truck.

That's correct, United Airlines flight 169, upon approach to Runway 29, which requires the planes to come in low, passing right over the highway. In this case, it was so low that the landing gear whacked the roof of a bread truck on the roadway along with a light pole. Has that guy got a story to tell!

According to the story I read, the driver only had minor injuries! Can you imagine that?

Not sure how I would have handled that phone call? "Boss, I had an accident". Okay, what happened? "I got roof swiped by a Boeing 767 jumbo jet on the Jersey Turnpike." Really, why didn't you just tell me you had a flat tire! That is a little more believable!

Perfect Limo always expects our chauffeurs to be on location for a pick up ten minutes before the scheduled time. Do they adhere to this rule? They better, GPS tracking lets us know everything.

I mention this because being on time is very important in our industry. Hey, planes may get away with being late, but a chauffeur running behind is unheard of! Would he lose his job? Depends upon the history.

Now, if you were Austin Gaugert, caddie for Garrick Higgo at the 108th PGA Championship this past Thursday, you became the fall guy and got fired because Higgo was at his time 30 seconds later than his 7:18 scheduled time.

Seriously, who even pays attention to the second hand on a watch anyway? Fire me for giving you the wrong club, but what is he supposed to do? Grab the guy by the ear and drag him over to the tee. I'm not a golfer, so I guess I don't understand.

As you get ready to enjoy the 'unofficial beginning of summer', per AI, please remember this is a day dedicated to mourning and honoring all military personnel who died while serving in the Armed Forces.

Be safe.

 Football ju**ie that I am, I had to watch the NFL Draft, once again, Thursday night, round one, like it was a Sunday afternoon and Big Blue is ready lock horns with the hated Eagles.

05/15/2026

Who remembers Super Bowl XLVIII? For those of you who are not Roman, who remembers Super Bowl 48 at Met Life Stadium? I'm not talking about the trashing Peyton Manning took from the Legion of Boom and the Seattle Seahawks. I'm talking about the aftermath of the game and the thousands of people who were stranded at the stadium because everyone thought the train was the way to go. Oops! Somebody didn't plan that too well.

As Mike Tyson once said, "Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth."

I mention this because the World Cup will be played at that very same stadium this June and July. FIFA and the people in charge of this event being played at Met Life this summer, apparently, weren't at the stadium at 1 AM trying to board the only train that goes to Secaucus Junction to connect to a train to NYC after the completion of the big game.

Maybe they are planning something different, who knows. But soccer, worldwide, is much bigger than our Super Bowl, and I'm guessing there will be plenty of international guests descending on the Tri-State area to be involved.

After game chaos! Who knows, maybe these 82,500 soccer fans will have better luck than the 82,500 football fans. Just saying.

Mass transit is a great way to go if the numbers work out. Like, last week, Doris, myself, and three others were leaving NYC, and we went to Port Authority to take a bus. Not just any bus, the 158, which goes right by our apartment in West New York.

Normally, the bus leaves out of gate 202, but after 10 PM, they switch it to gate 302. Up we go to gate 302. Never-ending lines of people going to gates 303, 305, 323, etc. As crazy as this sounds, this is organized chaos. As the bus arrives, we start making our way through the terminal area, out to the platform, then onto the bus. We were probably in the middle of the line, and when we got onto the bus, Doris and I were lucky to get seats in the front of the bus while the other three were spread out a little further back. Seems like everyone likes to head to the back of the bus. Me, "front row". You remember that line? Bob Uecker.

People kept coming on. Standing room only. It got a little scary because we had people stacked in front of us right up to the infamous white line that passengers are not allowed to pass. Some worker from the platform yells to the driver, "How many you got?" Over 90, he responds. Four people standing on the front steps were begging to get on. Nope, off. Get off my bus! They were that close. They must have stopped to use the restroom.

Now, the reason we were in the city was because we went to see a musical called The Buena Vista Social Club. It's about a club in Cuba in the late 1950's before Fidel Castro took over. The play was a lot of music in Cuban Spanish.

I was so lucky to be sitting in front of somebody who knew the words to every song and felt it was his job to provide stereo for me. I got used to it until he started clapping in rhythm to the songs. Then it became a little annoying.

But what the heck, he was a proud man enjoying his heritage.

Not sure if I need to get my eyesight fixed or my hearing unclogged. According to my wife though, it would be both.

The other day, I saw a guy on the news talking about parking in NYC and the comical signs you see on the street about what you can and cannot do when it comes to parking your vehicle in the Big Apple. What I thought I heard and saw was NYC.signs.net, but when I applied that to the search bar, it came up with a whole bunch of crap about signs, alright! Sign makers, signs for business, etc. Nothing governmental to help navigate yourself away from getting a parking ticket.

So, I tried a different way and put NYC Parking, and I got a simple answer of NYC-Parking Signs locator, which actually brings you to a map. Now, this site is pretty cool. On the map, you can enter a street, say, 42nd Street, and behold, the map brings up all the signs in the area selected. You then highlight one of them, and you are good to go. If you can decipher it correctly.

My first thought as an owner of a transportation company was, " This is a fantastic tool." But then, I thought to myself, who will take the time out for that?

We have gotten our share of parking tickets over the years. Back in the early nineties, there was a time it got so high that one of the vehicles was impounded in Brooklyn while the chauffeur was getting a cup of coffee. This was a very expensive cup of java, my friend. First, we had to pay to get the car out of the impound lot, then go pay the fines, which, after adding fees and penalties, came to $1,700. Remember now, these are all phantom summonses, because our guys are so good, they never get parking tickets of any kind!

That was not a sarcastic statement; that was the truth. It happened to me. I was sitting on a side street waiting for Doris, and about a hundred feet away or so, I saw a ticket meter guy walking and staring at me. Never stopped, never waved to move, nothing. About a month later, there was a ticket in the mail with a fine, because it wasn't paid on time.

So, I'm at the NYDMV in Brooklyn, where the towing company told me to go. I waited patiently in line for close to an hour until I got my turn at the window. When I pulled out all my information, like tickets, plate numbers to make sure there were no more fines lurking around, the woman very nicely said to me, "For a business, you need to go to the Manhattan office downtown".

Now, I looked around and very kindly said I didn't notice any signage to tell me this. Her answer was, "because there is none". I'm not sure of the following conversation we had, but I remained calm. Boy, did I feel like screaming, but I remembered what Kim in our office used to tell me. "You can catch more flies with honey than vinegar".

I had already placed all my paperwork on the counter, and I noticed she started running printouts of each vehicle as I was jabbering away about basically nothing. I said if she needed me to leave, I would go to the other location. "Just stand there and don't say anything," she retorted. Which I did, and in about ten minutes, I was able to receive everything I needed without having to go downtown. She was great, but then again, I wasn't an ass to her, although I think I had every right to be.

Thank goodness I left the vinegar in the car.

Be safe.

I have an Apple Watch, like the rest of America. Not sure about all the functions on it, but to me, it is basically used to know how many steps I take and the time. Need to know the time! Oh, and at least 100 of those steps get calculated because I forgot my phone on the couch and went to the kitchen. Then had to go back, but left my coffee in the kitchen. You know the routine.

Sure, it's got workout stuff, heart rates, better known as BPM, among other stuff. The one thing it has that I wind up activating many times is a "help, I've fallen, and I can't get up" thing. Well, what it actually does, almost every time I get down on the floor to do my stretches, is the SOS goes off and asks if I'm okay. Now, almost all of those times when I'm exercising, I don't have my reading glasses on, which means I can't read crap, especially on a 1 1/2 by 1 1/2 inch screen.

This means, with my blurry vision, I have to find the cancel alert button so I don't have a whole mess of first responders showing up at my front door.

Remember when the only warning light we ever had to worry about was the engine light on the dashboard of the car we were driving? I could go on forever about all the alerts or warning signs we get. But I'm sure you are already aware of them. But here is a new one for you.

We have a house in Point Pleasant Beach, and although we live there year-round, the insurance company we have considers it a second home. So, they sent me a letter that when we are not there, we have to drain the water system during the winter so the pipes don't freeze, or they will not be responsible for the damage.

That's ridiculous! Or, I can install a Moen Smart Flo System? I had no clue what this was, but as it turns out, it is pretty darn good. When it was first installed in the winter, we were not home. This is important because it starts recording a history of your water usage. Which, at the time, was basically nothing.

When we left for Florida at the end of January, I used the little button on the app to shut off the water. While we were in Florida in February, my son and his friends stayed at the house as a weekend getaway. So, Friday afternoon of that weekend, I hit the little button on my app, from Florida, and turned the water back on, because the children do need to drink water (and flush), right?

Saturday morning, I get a text message from my Smart Flo that in five minutes, it's shutting down the water. I guess everyone got up to take their AM showers? Not an issue, I just responded that everything was good from my Moen app 1500 miles away.

Fast forward to this past week. Doris took a bath, and I was taking a shower, so I didn't see the warning that in five minutes, "no water for you". Can you imagine we used 42 gallons of water? Yes, Moen shut us down. I had to go on the app and restart the system. I hope it learns fast because this could be a long learning process for us. The great part about the app, there is no more dragging my butt into the crawl space to manually turn the water on and off.

Can you imagine it is Spring? Sure as heck doesn't feel that way. But May 2nd, we get the Kentucky Derby, which is one of those days that tells us Spring is in the air.

Be safe

Football ju**ie that I am, I had to watch the NFL Draft, once again, Thursday night, round one, like it was a Sunday afternoon, and Big Blue is ready to lock horns with the hated Eagles.

Nope, just a regular old Thursday watching young men become millionaires. Good for them.

Amazing the drafts that the professional leagues have. You stink, so you get to pick first, putting all your faith and your livelihood in the hands of a 20-something-year-old.

Thursday was also Bring Your Child to Work Day. Right! This wasn't a novelty thing to do for us; this was a way of life. Our boys grew up going to work at Perfect Limo. I remember our youngest at 3 or 4 would ride his tricycle around the building. HQ, the Octagon House, after all the crappy interior walls were removed, became a regular Daytona racetrack. Around and around and around he would go. When he got older and knew how to answer a phone and say, "Hello, Perfect Limo", the tricycle got parked in the closet.

Yes, if you were inside the eight walls (octagon) of the business and a phone rang, it had to be answered. We didn't care if you were a dispatcher, chauffeur, the mailman, or the boss's kid. That phone had to be picked up before two rings!

Phones ringing reminded me of the early years of the business. Not sure what year we were finally ready to go on a vacation, but it wasn't easy to walk away. We left the business with a teenager, who was still in high school! Desperate to get away? What do you think?

Anyway, at the time we were dealing with a company in Los Angeles, and they would wait until after 5 PM their time to call us to give us rides. Calculate that, folks! 8 PM Eastern Standard Time.

So, Doris and I head to Miami for a weekend getaway. While in South Beach, we find a Cuban restaurant that someone recommended. Unfortunately, they only had one table available the owner's table. What's the problem, we wondered? The restaurant's phone was on the table; it was for the big boss man. Oh, they had a second one at the front desk, but this was the old Ma Bell rotary phone. Ring, ring.

I'm hungry, let's do it. Yes, the phone rang, but the beauty was that we didn't have to pick it up by the second ring.

For those young men drafted by the Giants and Jets in the NFL Draft, Travel and Leisure had this story:

According to a new study by DuelBits, New Jersey is one of the best states in the U.S. to see the American dream in action—and to work to achieve it for yourself. https://www.travelandleisure.com/best-places-to-live-in-new-jersey-11762258

Live the dream.

I'm stuck. Got nothing to talk about.

Let's try this. I turned 72 yesterday. April 16th, is that anything to chat about? Look, when I went to bed on the 15th, I was wondering what it was going to be like on the 16th. Nothing. Same old aches and pains, nothing new.

Remember when we would look forward to the big day. When the new calendars came out, you would flip through the months and see what day your birthday would fall on, even though it was simple enough to figure it out, unless it was a Leap year. That would freeze the brain for a minute.

If the big day fell on a weekend, you would mentally work out your plans for the big night, even though it was six months out. I'm gonna have a heck of a great time!

One thing I never did was take off from work on my birthday. Here's the best part. At Perfect Limo, whoever's birthday it was on any particular day, they got to choose where lunch was going to be purchased from for the big day. Lunch on the bosses for everybody. Some would choose Davey's Locker, others pizza, or maybe Manhattan Bagel for some fabulous pastrami sandwiches.

Me, I wanted burgers from Montvale Bowling alley, right across the street from the Octagon House. Take your Davey's burger. Me, the bowling alley had the greasiest grill that made the most delicious burger. And the fries! Followed in the same footsteps as that greasy burger. You can taste the oil dripping out of them. I sort of wonder how I made it to 72?

Funny thing is, no one ever chose to go for sushi or a salad. It was always the most fattening crap we could find.

Something that has nothing to do with food, but is about the Octagon House. We got a letter the other day, in Point Pleasant, from the zoning board, pretty much off-season, that one of our neighbors wants to build a cabana on their property, in a spot that probably will not be great for everybody in the surrounding homes. Maybe no one will notice it in their mailbox!

When we bought the Octagon House back in 1998, we needed to do the zoning letters ourselves to be able to run a limousine business out of the building. I believe it was around Labor Day weekend, and the woman we were working with at Borough Hall said to send them out on Thursday. Surrounding us were businesses, so she said, "Send them out on Thursday, no one will be around to open their mail". So we rushed to get names and mailing addresses of everyone within the zone.

Now, we were fortunate because we got no pushback. Not sure if they were happy to have us, or if they never saw the letter.

Be safe.
