Photo Diary: Go, Giants!

Here’s to say: Thank you all for either cheering the team on, or for putting up with/incessantly bitching about the delays and crowded N-Judah and T-Third trains around AT&T Park all season. The Giants advanced to the next round of playoffs by beating the Atlanta Braves last night 3-2.
Delays and bitching will resume next Tuesday (most likely in the evening at the perfectly jack-ass time of 1:19 p.m., according the Giants Twitter feed).
Photo Diary: Me and Joe C.
Over in our Flickr group, Muni rider redletterdayzine implores us to do the following:
Please look closely. This bottle was empty, but it had (at one time) contained Jose Cuervo.
Trying to get this photo while the train was bumping & jostling made for some hilarity; the guy sitting across the aisle from us (nice jeans, buddy!) thought we were insane…
Sometimes it’s hard to find a trash receptacle in this town, right?
Photo Diary: Always a Party on Muni
As @jaeha observes, “Always a party on Muni.” And what a pretty party it is …
An Ode to the Cable Cars
SF resident and cable car lover Carlos put together the homage up above.
A lot of us love San Francisco. Some of us find cool ways to express it.
Weekend Photos: Life on Muni Metro

Thanks for bearing with me as I emerge from a two-week-long acclimation. Eugenia was kind enough to let me put this post together, which should be the final step. Your Muni stories and photos help out tremendously in that regard. And while yesterday was one of those familiar low points for Muni (computer breakdowns causing systemwide Muni Metro delays, fatal collision between a bus and cyclist), it’s nice to know that … well, um, hey, the Giants are hot-hot-hot! 🙂
Speaking of, here’s my pro-tip for getting to the ballpark: BART to Powell, then walk. Yes, I’m advocating not taking Muni. It’s Indian Summer out there, so take advantage of it. Also, Third Street during the playoffs is unlike your everyday Third Street: It’s lined with make-shift merchants who’ve come out of the woodwork to sell you stuff and get you hyped for the game.
But this is all neither here nor there. Here is the week in Muni news:
- SFMTA move curbs sick calls (SF Examiner)
- Woman in Pajamas Slaps Muni Bus Driver (SF Weekly)
- Muni officials working on a smart phone app (ABC 7/KGO)
- Scott Wiener: Muni ‘Beyond Incompetent’ (SF Weekly)
- Muni floats ideas to improve service (City Insider/SFGate)
Enjoy your weekend, and go, Giants!
