Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
Here we go again, folks. Maybe we should all start wearing our work gloves when we ride Muni.
Seriously, though. Why are so many Muni doors not closing? Some kind of metaphor or something?

This Muni rider has the right idea. Quit bitching about the cold, get your carnival-size teddy bear, and just ride the bus.
Not unlike this morning’s bedecked pomeranian.

Amid complaints about literally freezing temps here in the city, Christmas trees are showing up on Muni to complete our certifiable “real winter.” Pics above and below by Keri on the 12-Folsom (AKA the TWAAAAAALVE).
I’ve heard tell of real snow falling to the ground and staying there, or resting festively on the actual Christmas tree as you bring it home. Perhaps we San Franciscans will experience such phenomena this holiday season.

Muni rider D braves the elements to file this report: “A pomeranian has to wear a coat!!”
Now that is cold.
Cruzada Guadalupana
On Saturday, the annual Pilgrimage to the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe will take place. Participants will begin walking from All Soul’s Church in South San Francisco at 6:00 a.m., enter San Francisco at Mission and Sickles at 9:30 a.m. and end at St. Mary’s Cathedral on Geary Boulevard at 2:00 p.m.
The San Francisco portion of the route begins at Mission Street and Sickles Avenue, continues north on Mission to Van Ness Avenue (via 14th Street and South Van Ness Avenue) to Ellis Street, west on Ellis Street to Gough Street, and then north on Gough Street to Geary Boulevard where it will end at St. Mary’s Cathedral.
No closures or re-routes are planned. Streets along the procession route may be congested which could affect Muni bus service. SFPD officers and Parking Control Officers will monitor the march.

It’s nice when people yell backdoor for you or give you their seat on the bus. But the following is a top-level good deed on Muni that I personally wouldn’t be able to do without.
@LaMelSauceda: Shout out to the man who prevented me from stepping in poop on the 6 today. Good lookin’ out, bro.
With that, we’ll leave you with the festive photo from reader Larry G. above. Enjoy your weekend!
