Nick at Buboblog asks, among other things:
Should small children get dibs on the front seats? And if so, how do they fit into the hierarchy? For instance, do they trump a fairly spry 70-year-old?
If we know you, you’ve got an opinion on this. Weigh in, please, by all means.

There’s a powerful new force on Twitter you should know about. @MUNI_HULK has been smashing pixels on Twitter since late October.
Here’s Hulk’s tweet that goes with the photo above, just to give you a nibble:
“CLIPPER PUT UP XMAS LIGHTS BEFORE THANKSGIVING. HULK HATE COMMERCIALIZATION OF HOLIDAYS.”
Follow MUNI_HULK.
*Pardon the all-caps, folks.

Rider Ben tipped us to Dan Dectis’s song “Judah,” which begins with a sound clip of the train. (Thanks also to Brant)
The sound of Muni also provides inspirastion to a music video about the 71-Haight that you might have seen here before.

That said, I jumped at the chance to do this post today after Eugenia forwarded me some more photos showing people on Muni going to the parade or celebrating on Monday night (see below). It really was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, being here when the team won the World Series. So one last time, I just want to say: Congrats to the team.
Tonight, we’ll be at Julie Michelle‘s i live here: SF art opening at SOMArts. Julie is amazing. Her work is amazing. This show is gonna be through-the-roof amazing, celebrating one of the best reasons to love this city: its people. If you can’t make it tonight, the show will stay up until Nov. 30. Oh, and also, too: Muni Diaries will be hosting a night at Julie’s show on Nov. 17. We invite you to come share your stories with us in person. Stay tuned for more details.
There was also an election this week, I think.

We said goodbye to the type “A” Fast Pass this week, but you can show your beloved monthly passes (and Muni Diaries) some love with these shirts. They are designed by New Skool‘s Nate1, who is also an in-house artist at Secession Art and Design.
Here’s what the shirt looks like if you don’t have a soda can wig to go with it:
This design is also available in baby onesies and adult hoodies at Secession Art and Design on 3361 Mission Street (and 30th Street).

I’ve got my bubble wrap ready so check out the Muni Diaries store if you want to buy one of these awesome shirts!
