Long Muni commutes sure do have their ups and downs, as Alexandra explains.

“Sat next to an old man who farted the entire ride, sat diagonal from a middle aged lady who was carrying the same vintage purse as me and gave her a thumbs up and smiled, remembered suddenly that I had a nightmare about my psycho ex boyfriend in which I gave him a hug to keep him from killing me. Just another day on the N (inbound) train.”
