Winter Weather Spawns Fursplosion on Muni
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.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas on Muni
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.

Designer Siew Ming Cheng of National University of Singapore has devised a way to keep fellow transit passengers at a respectable distance. The Gloss reports:
