In a land way off of my zip code (ok, on the edge of 4th and King), our Twitter mistress Laura runs @caltraindiaries, where you can find these two quality haikus and more to start off your weekend. Laura also documents all cringe-worthy startup gossip and nail clipping you can overhear on your way down to suburbia.

Many crumbs in your seat
Yet, you weren’t eating at all
Someone else’s meal?

Unpredictable.
Late on a daily basis.

They teach us in driving school that car horns are only to be used in emergency situations, not as a catch-all communication device. But until telepathy rules the day, that ain’t happening. No, it’s all in how you use your vehicle’s tooter. Muni rider TransitMan found one bus driver who sounds like a master.

I’m guessing that Muni rider Angela is as guarded and cynical as they come. Well, almost. Maybe. Here’s her story:

As I was riding the 19-Polk toward California St, a man in the bus sat next to me and initiated a conversation with me…

man: do you know the meaning of the word “inspiration”
me: uughh..what does it mean to you?
man: in….spire, inspire…you know, in spirit… when you feel “inspired”, you feel it in your “spirit”…you “inspire” me..
me: *listens with a smile*
man: do you know the meaning of “love”?
me: I’m not really sure…actually…
