Even the Giants won’t celebrate without Muni

Angels get their wings when Muni meets San Francisco Giants, or something like that that’s probably true.

Our San Francisco Giants, 2012 World Series champs, got champion-worthy bling from Tiffany’s last weekend. Since we can’t get cable cars on the field, we settled for this “cable car” party bus to deliver the goods. But, to boost authenticity and pay homage to the home city, real-life cable-car gripmen and conductors walked the rings to the field.

Cable car operators are Muni’s cream of the crop and the city’s unofficial ambassadors—but don’t forget that many of them drove our everyday lines once upon a time.

@sfgiants follows us, and you should, too! See you and your thumb thoughts @munidiaries.

Muni rider snubs snub nose at this rain

You said it, Mr./Ms. Pug. Hmph on this rain, plus, wouldn’t you know it, the bus was late again and everyone keeps telling me I’m cute. Obviously, so let’s move on.

This made Twitter photog @dearamerican‘s day, though. It would definitely make ours.

So, it is not going to rain for evening commute, right? Because I left my adorable poncho and disaffected Muni face at home. In any case, thanks @dearamerican for sharing. On the go, tweet any and all Muni musings to @munidiaries.

Puppet show on the platform!

Update:
Did you see Nick the puppeteer’s profile on SFGate and Mission Local? Cool stuff!

Original post:
Muni rider D felt compelled to share something underground: The Flat Broke Puppet Co.’s puppet show.

Here’s what D had to say: “Ok so maybe it wasn’t really *on* the platform per se but it was a nice surprise as I exited the Powell St. Station.”

No matter. Puppets, wolfie smooches, what more can you ask for in a commute?
