I've learned a lot about the growing homeless problem and the how the shelter project from four years ago has backfired on the city.

My cabbie told me a story about how he drove Kate Winslett a couple years back for the Film Festival. And apparently she was a giant snob and was shocked when he expected her to pay for the ride... awesome! Hey Samantha, it was good meeting you this year!

On the way to the airport my cabbie told me that he was a Vietnam vet who was a mercenary in El Salvador after the war. At night he uses his cab as a cover for his bounty hunting business. Awesome.
