They're rarely your cheapest option (if you live in a city well-served by cabs, it's probably also well-served by mass transit), but compared to the costs of owning a car, even semi-extravagant cab usage can seem like a drop in the bucket, especially given the realities of parking in a large city. For me, the main hang-up is that DC cabs don't take plastic, and I rarely carry cash and treasure it when I do. @chic noir I used to have that hang-up, but I’ve gotten more comfortable about taking them.

Do you keep a bowl of pennies on the night stand to turn it off, or get up and go to your wallet? I’m very intrigued by this alarm clock.
