On Muni, Always Err on the Side of Sanity
Oh, who am I kidding with that headline. It’s hard out there for a Muni driver, though, no joke.
This here from @greendressgirl on a 36-Teresita.

A Match Waiting to Happen on Muni
Patricia sent us this pic, noting:
…saw this spud on the N a few days back. I like to imagine he (yes, it’s a he) is riding the Muni rails in search of his long-lost tomato…
I love how even this tough-skinned ‘tater won’t sit on Muni without a newspaper barrier.
Now, please keep your eyes peeled (HA!) for the Muni-riding hamburger searching far and wide for its sides.
AT&T Park: Corgi Dressed as BART Train
This one I shall eat with a spoon.
Transit-themed costumes showcasing Bay Area pride are par for the course. Even Muni Diaries has been known to make costumes from time to time.
And transit. Let’s not forget transit.
A+ for craftsmanship and awesomeness goes to the corgi repping BART.
Wilford Brimley: Muni Rider, Giants Fan
Hey, sometimes you need a break from Cocoon fan parties and diabeetus commercials.
So, we don’t know-know that this is Wilford Brimley, but we enjoy pretending it is. Maybe he can also be the spokesman for taking Muni to Giants games, right?
Thanks for tweeting this to us, @David_Albizo.
Muni Nutter Butter for a Better-Smelling Bus
Someone was in one hell of a rush.
Here, we (obviously) have discarded Nutter Butter. It made my section of the 49 smell like peanut butter instead of urine, and, for that, I thank the hurried Safeway shopper who left these behind.
So, what does your bus smell like? You guys are really good at describing Muni’s olfactory pleasures and offenses alike.
