Useful Phone Number
Hi, reader. I wrote this in 2005 and it's now more than five years old. So it may be very out of date; the world, and I, have changed a lot since I wrote it! I'm keeping this up for historical archive purposes, but the me of today may 100% disagree with what I said then. I rarely edit posts after publishing them, but if I do, I usually leave a note in italics to mark the edit and the reason. If this post is particularly offensive or breaches someone's privacy, please contact me.
I was reminded last night that many people who have cell phones do not have the phone number of a local taxicab company or dispatcher on their speed-dials. It's useful to have one for many occasions, including ones that don't quite rise to the level of emergency. In San Francisco, I use (415) 920-0715 to reach the Citywide dispatching service, which has never let me down.
