Large Orange Dot on Muni 04.30.12
Sometimes San Francisco just freakin’ turns orange. I’m cool with that. Photo on the 44-O’Shaughnessy by Lee de Broff, who says, “this event really happened. no photoshop! it was surreal — and cool.”

When you ask the average San Franciscan to sum up what it’s like to ride Muni, chances are the word “crazy” would appear somewhere in their description.
theordinaryday shared a related something that they overheard on Muni recently. It made us chuckle:
A: I’m really crazy
B: Lots of crazies in here
A: Yeah, in here I’m normal even if I’m crazy
B: Maybe you’re normal in crazy scale — percentage-wise.
See? Sometimes Muni is therapeutic.

Muni Art Diary: Mural at 21st and Mission 04.26.12
Here’s a wider view for some context.
Funny, because it kinda looks like the LRV is emerging from West Portal, though that’s nowhere nearby. And correct me if I’m wrong, but I’ve never seen people playing music on streets out there.
Also, it is still strange not hearing and seeing buses on Mission Street.
Other murals with Muni appearances: the dearly departed 15 bus; 52-Excelsior; a Muni bus in Clarion Alley; and a Sirron Norris gray Muni bus
