Sundown at Powell Station

Reader Gregory just brightened my day.

I came across this scene while walking through Powell station en route to the Ferry Building. I decided to pass through the station instead of walking the well-trodden and energetic Market Street. The energy underground is much different. Bright florescent lights leave nothing uncovered, and the corridors echo the voices and whispers of those passing though.

From a hundred steps away I heard the soothing notes of a trumpet player and his mp3 orchestra. And as I turned the corner, this is what I saw.

Anyone know more about this trumpet player?

Mobile Makeup on Muni Metro

You know how it is. You get out of work or leave the house late, and you have to put your face on in transit. A personal favorite is one-handed penciling of your bottom lids (you know what I’m talking about).

We’ve seen pretty serious Caboodles on the bus before, and one lady on the 5-Fulton apparently does it every damn day. But this phenomenon reaches new, perfectly lined heights on the K-Ingleside, via My Muni on Tumblr.

Thumb War Bonding on Muni

Sure, Muni sees much more than its fair share of violence. Fisticuffs and that sort of thing.

But this morning, @CaraLaDara observed and all-out war on Muni:

Father and daughter furiously debating the rules of thumb war. During thumb war. Giggles abound.

Okay, if that doesn’t melt, or least soften, your heart, we have some rehab numbers for you. Also, what exactly are the rules of thumb war?
