Muni driver fails to use indoor voice on the phone
Last week, we asked what you think of excessing blabbing on Muni during the morning commute. Opinions vary.
Around the same time, Blair (she of the 12-Folsom Fix-It Fame) sent us this dispatch:

If you’re Oscar the Grouch (see photo above), you … grouch.
“If you can be happy on the 38 it’s love”
Melissa’s text with a friend involved witnessing a modern-day miracle. The reaction pretty much sums it all up: “LOL at the 38. If you can be happy on the 38 it’s love.”
Right on, bus-ridin’ lovebirds!

How many times a day do you walk past a San Francisco landmark without giving it another glance? Long-time Muni Diaries photo contributor Jeremy Brooks decided that to train his camera lens on the Transamerica Building for a year and captured some amazing shots in his Transamerica View project, which has 256 photos of the landmark building taken in a year. You’ve seen his great photos on the site in lots of posts including the Shoes on Muni series.
From Jeremy:
