Can you take me to seventh Street and Michigan Avenue ?
Sure buddy , hop in the back .
Thanks , I wanted to avoid the rain .
Good thing you caught me , I almost passed you .
Thanks again . I didn’t want to get rained on .
The weather man says , “ It’s going to rain hard all afternoon ! ”
Now , I’m headed to work a 10 hour shift .
What kind of work do you do , sir ?
I work for the Detroit Fire Department .
Wow , so you fight fires ?
Yeah , I have for 20 years .
That’s an amazing job !
It is , but it’s dangerous .
How does your family feel about it ?
They hate it ! They are afraid for me .
I understand !
But , I only have three more years and I’ll retire .
What will you do then ?
I don’t know , maybe drive a taxi .
Really ? Why ?
I’d love to do what you do .
It is a neat job .
I love people , so I would love to talk to new people everyday .
Then a taxi driver is a perfect job for your retirement years .
Well , that’s my plan , my family will like that better too !
They will ! We are at the Fire Department .
Thanks for the ride buddy , take care !
