Carol Perkins: The taxi ride "You would be very sorry if you got us killed," our intrepid columnist, a travel writer in this column, warned the cab driver, whom she and three other passengers each peppered with more driving advice than Hyacinth Bucket dishes out in Keeping up appearances on liberal Tv. The next earlier Carol Perkins store, Christmas on Christmas Island? By Carol Perkins The first cab could not take us to our hotel because we had too many pieces of luggage to fit inside his car. He waved for the next in line. There were three of us and each brought a big suitcase and a carryon. We planned to do some serious Christmas shopping during our four day visit. The next cab was a little larger, so we rolled our luggage in the rain while the smiling cab driver happily greeted us and then stuffed each bag in the trunk. He wasn't as tall as I, and I only say that because when he got behind the wheel, he needed a booster seat to see over the steering wheel. I like my cab drivers to be able to see the road.

They have a root system that can be as much as two feet deep in really good soils which is one of the reasons it is hard to control.
