Richman stuck around to watch the remains of the cab get towed away after Somerville firefighters doused the flames:

Karma?

On January 20, I wrote this:

I had a run in in my personal vehicle with a Cambridge Ambassador cab recently. Called into dispatch to complain and was told "we don't own the cab , the driver is an independent contractor and we have no say about it, call the Cambridge cops".

This burning cab is that same cab.

Perhaps Karma

Perhaps sloppy and risky behavior eventually begetting a catastrophe.

You have an alibi, yes?

Of course!

Last week it was a snowplow bursting into flames. This week it's a cab. Next week my money is on the luxury SUV with an ice sheet on top.
