I'm normally against graffiti, but on the metro ride home yesterday there was a sticker which made me laugh, and which I sort of hope was put on more than just the one car.

Please refrain from vilifying Muni

If you aren't familiar with Muni, the San Francisco Municipal Railway, they don't have a great reputation. Service is slow, trains and busses are often overcrowded or arrive in bunches of three after a long delay. It can take quite a long time to get anywhere because it seems like the bus is stopping on every single block. Sometimes the busses actually are stopping on every single block.

And that's Muni on a good day.

Then there are the bad days. The days when a line comes to a halt after an accident, or someone gets hit by a bus. Then there are the days like last wednesday when the entire metro system was shut down because of a bomb threat called in just after surface busses and trolley's had to be stopped because a woman ran in front of a bus and was hit. Even when it's not Muni's fault (and there is a lot to fault Muni for as it is) they usually end up getting blamed.

Thankfully it was a nice day and it was only a 45 minute walk home.
