It couldn’t've come at a better time. We’re simply exhausted, after our last-minute push to get the new-look Muni Diaries up last weekend. We hope you’re liking it. Aside from making the comments easier to read, we think all the kinks are out. Also, we added a new feature midweek: The ability to view posts by bus route. See the sidebar on the right over there. Nifty!

Now wethinks weneeds a long weekend, one filled with nice weather, good friends, good food, fun times … oh, and fireworks. Anyone know where we can find all of the above?

SFMTA says Muni will operate on a normal schedule both Sunday and Monday. And now, the week’s Muni news:

• West Portal Muni crash proving costly for SF (SF Examiner)
• Muni Bus Crash Injures Two (SF Appeal)
• Muni plans to roll back half of new service cuts in September (City Insider); Details on which routes will be affected (SF Appeal)
• New penalties proposal targets violence on Muni (SF Examiner)
• Transit Rally’s Speakers Say Solution To Muni’s Woes Lies In Federal Funding (SF Appeal)
• Union Prez Picks Sides in Muni Reform (The Bay Citizen)
