Missed Connection: You Finished My Sentences at MacArthur BART
Photo by Ken-ichi Ueda
Alia of On Transit had a missed connection at the MacArthur BART station, involving Proust, neuroscience, and what could have been. Help a fellow rider out. Did you read over Alia’s shoulders the other day and finish her sentences? Are you the one?
I look up from Proust Was A Neuroscientist, wishing not for the first time that I could answer, “English” or “Neuroscience” or “Just so you know, I could read real science books if I wan-ted.”
Instead: “Oh … I’m not a student.”
“I just saw the UC Berkeley stamp. I’m sorry, I was reading over your shoulder—I know I shouldn’t do that, but it looked really interesting—”
“Believe me,” I interrupt, “I’m the last person you should apologize to for that. And it is pretty interesting, it’s —”

Avoid Being Mistaken For a Tourist With TOC One-Fold Map

We can’t really help you with the first two, but Eric Meltzer and his team have come up with a map that folds and unfolds with one snap so you won’t look like a dork.
Like this:
Eric says the TOC map that they developed also works great as a Muni map. The map is water proof so you can use it in the rain (or if you dropped your map onto some unidentified liquid on the bus…it’s a possibility).
