This just in: Reports of SF residents receiving unsolicited, meaningless, and quite puzzling texts from “41411.” We’re having difficulty determining just WTF that is, but here’s a sampling of the messages we received:

41411:: NextBus Alert:
5 & 20 min
South Lake Union Line
Westlake & Mercer

41411:: NextBus Alert:
@3:14PM
r=Rd
s=Hrsshe
d=Cntns Lp
2&24min
—
Rply: 1-30) for alert or S)ave
name

41411:: NextBus Alert:
0 & 7 min
White
MIMOSA

Which prompted this response from us:

STOP TEXTING ME, REMOVE ME FROM THIS LIST

Which got this reply:

41411: Sorry it didn’t work out for you. You won’t recv any further messages from 41411.help@41411.com

Is anyone else receiving these texts? Does anyone know what’s up?

Ski Down the 14-L in Bernalwood

February 23, 2011 eugenia Leave a comment

If San Francisco had snow, Bernal Heights would be the perfect ski resort. And its best black diamond ski run? It’s called the 14-Limited, of course.

Todd Lappin at the terrific Bernalwood dreamed up this winter wonderland and named a run after the 14-L:

14 Limited is the mountain’s longest and most challenging run. A steep plunge down Bernal’s northwest face, the ride is as intense as the MUNI bus line from which it takes its name. The line down 14L takes you off the nose at the top of the hill, shooting you through the tree glade below the former roadbed and all the way down to the base of the Stoneman Chair.

Cruise over to Bernalwood to see what the best ski resort in San Francisco looks like, including a view from the top of the 14-Limited. Who knows, it could get cold enough this weekend. I’m ready to wear my best apre-ski outfit to Emmy’s Spaghetti Shack.

Muni rider Jason sends the photo above, and says:

ok maybe they couldn’t afford a real shelter, but at least now we can sit down in the rain waiting for a southbound 22

How are you coping with all the ~~water~~water and ice falling from the sky?

Fancy-Pants Reporter: NYC Buses Are Better Than Muni

Oh no you din’t, Ms. 8. Lee.

Chances are you don’t know WTF Jennifer 8. Lee is. No matter. She visited our fair city last week and actually had the gall to declare that she “prefers the NYC” buses to Muni.

Also, I’m glad The New York Times has copy editors. (“Whats with all the brown?” What’s with no apostrophe, more like.)

Okay, you’re right about the brown. Most of us would prefer an orange something along the lines of 2010 World Champion San Francisco Giants or something. We’ll see what we can do.
