230710 ステップ・久し振りのタクシー

ステップ
18:25、最高110回


今日は
役所の始まる頃に
外出する用事が有って

しかも数日前に
駐車場の前が
工事で通行不能にナる旨の
ポストが有ったので

今回は仕方がナい
タクシーで行こう
と言う事とナりました

最寄りのタクシー乗り場
修繕工事で消えていて
うーんと唸っていたら
ドアマンが促してくれて
乗り込めました

行きは男性の運転手さん
ルートを訊かれて
希望は無くプロに任せる旨の僕
彼は裏路地で混雑を躱し
大通りの向こうに出る作戦

彼はコーナー毎に
身を乗り出し死角を潰し
指差し確認シながら
安全第一に進みます

ほぼ作戦は成功裏に進み
目的地まで
スムースに着きました

用事の方は
呆気ないほどスンナリ

タクシー乗り場が
ナい場所だったので
帰りは捕まえるのに
往生するかな
と覚悟しながら建物を出ると

前から路地を
いま支払わんとする
賃走タクシーが
滑り込んでくるではないですか

運転手さんに
ツギ、ノリタイ
とジェスチャーでアピールして
乗り込んで帰路へ就くと

帰りは女性の運転手さん
彼女、攻めます
隘路や隙間に
入る入る旨ハイリホー

前が見えない方が
精神衛生には善い
とは想いました

彼女からスれば
十分に入れる
隙間や隘路なのですから
僕のほうが完全に
余計なお世話なのです

帰路もスムースに着きました
ルート選びも完璧
彼女の名誉の為にも言っておくと
リズム感は人それぞれ
とてもリズミカルな
ナイスドライバーでした

230710 Step, Taxi after a long time

Steps.
18:25, max 110 times

Today at the start of the government office.
I had to go out.

And a few days ago
There was construction in front of the parking lot
construction in front of the parking lot.
that the street in front of the parking lot would be closed

So this time I have no choice.
Let's take a cab.
We decided to take a taxi.

The nearest cab stand
had disappeared due to repair work.
I groaned and groaned
The doorman gave me a nudge and I was able to get in.

The driver was a man.
He asked me what route I wanted to take.
I said I didn't have a preference and left it to the professionals.
He took a back alley to avoid the crowds
to the other side of the main street.

He leaned out at every corner
To cover his blind spots.
Pointing and checking.
"Safety first.

The plan almost worked.
He arrived smoothly at his destination.

As for the errand...
It was so easy that it was almost impossible to find a taxi stand

There was no cab stand in the area
I was prepared to have a hard time catching a taxi on the way back,
I left the building, thinking I might have trouble catching a cab on the way back...

an alley in front of me.
a cab was coming down the alley in front of us
slid into the alley in front of us.

I asked the driver
I want to get in the next one.
and gestured to the driver
I got in and headed home.

The driver was a woman.
She is aggressive!
Into the bottlenecks and crevices

It's better to not be able to see what's in front of you
It's better for your mental health
I thought so.

From her point of view.
It's a gap or a bottleneck that she can fully enter.
I'm the one
It's completely none of my business.

The return trip was smooth.
She chose her route perfectly.
To her credit, I have to say
Everyone has their own sense of rhythm
She was a very rhythmic and nice driver.
