Wait, WUT!? Christopher was minding his own business, reading a book on Muni, when this happened:

“I put my book down onto my lap. The man had just sat next to me on the 38 bus. The bus was getting crowded and there weren’t too many open seats. I don’t know if he chose this particular seat because he saw I was reading Robert Graysmith’s “Zodiac” -the true story of a serial killer that terrorized Northern California in the late sixties and early seventies- or it was just a great coincidence. Either way, he had my attention.”

Read the rest of the story at Marooned in Life. You really never know who you’re gonna run into on the bus, do ya?

Heisenberg Is Everywhere

We last saw the retired(?) meth chef sitting on an L-Taraval back in April. Then, earlier this week, Muni rider Andrew spotted the be-hatted “gentleman” on another Muni Metro train, standing this time, seemingly minding his own business/plotting his next move. Always planning a few steps ahead, that guy.

On the other side of town, local hatmakers Goorin Bros. have introduced a collector’s edition Heisenberg hat and box. You can even get it signed by Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan down at Comic-Con later this month. I just OMG OD’d, y’all.

Read SF Weekly‘s story for more details.
