Hilo taxi stories



Bryant left a library book in a Hilo taxi last week. His bookmark is a 10 billion dollar note from Zimbabwe (which might get you a cup of coffee there). So he left that in the library book, too. The cabbie called the library and the library called him and he met the taxi driver to retrieve his book. On our way home today, we used the same company. B told his story and the cabbie said, oh that was my daughter. He talked to her on the phone and she remembered the library book; she'd consulted with her mother what to do about it. Hadn't said anything to her dad about the 10B dollars. I don't know how we got to farm stories, but I said my dad had ridden a horse to school in Michigan, and the horse had walked home after. So he told us about Miko the mule who'd taken him and a cousin on a wild ride--the cousin fell off, and he had one foot on the ground, the other still in a stirrup, when Miko stopped. He said something about small kid time in Kalapana, so I asked if he knew Ledward Kaapana. "He's my cousin," the driver said."Haven't seen him in a while." So if you're in Hilo, use Da Best Taxi.
