   5 million?... How many people got double, triple, quadruple, etc. counted

   Last time I was in NYC, I rode the frickin' subways eleven times in one   
   day! The next day it snowed like no tomorrow... I rode taxis that day.   
   Nuthin' like a blizzard to take ALL the HYPER out of NYC cabbies. I had to   
   show all of them how to steer with their right foot! NYC cabbies... snow   
   wimps!
