On Powell-Hyde Streetcar


Finally tried the cable car. With my MUNI pass, it was only $1 extra. Normal fare is $5.

Feels like being on a living museum. Interesting. Loud. Rickety. Like the double-deckers in Macau.

Funny Incident. Some milkfed with a red face kept falling over people. He would blame the driver every time.

"Drive like a maniac," he muttered repeatedly,

He is 217 lbs, he told another passenger. If his IQ was half his weight, he might be ok. He is standing on the alley, toes pointed forward to the front of the car, half-inch apart. His center of gravity is kept at his chest. He keeps trying to compensate by gripping he overhead bars with his white-white knuckles.

I wanted to slap him. Then slap his stupid wife for dressing him in a stained blue sweatshirt tucked into deep blue Eddy Bauer jeans.

I hope they're both infertile.
