Update: Over on Market Street Railway’s blog today, they provide more background on streetcar No. 106. Read the MSR post for more.

Original post: You already know that we loves us some tattoos of the Muni worm and Muni vehicles. So this little treat in our submission inbox the other day put a big ol’ smile on our faces. From Alex:

I just love SF and our Russian guy there. So close to me…

The car in the tattoo and that Alex refers to is No. 106, a Moscovite awaiting restoration by the good folks at Market Street Railway. We hope to see car 106 on the streets of San Francisco someday soon. Thanks, Alex. And, nice tattoo!

For most of us, it’s a challenge to produce even one piece of art that you wouldn’t be embarrassed to hang on your wall. But reader “Tofu St. John” has embarked on a brave project this year: he produced a 4″ by 4″ mixed media piece every day as a reflection of the day.

Last week he devoted the Nov. 21 piece to Muni, seen above. You can learn more about his project at 2011 Project.com or see his daily progress on the 2011Project blog. Or, send him a postcard and help him make the first piece of art for 2012.

The illustrious Doc Pop sent us an adorable Postagram (picture below) the other day of these stuffed animals watching over the Potrero Yard. Here they are again, by reader Raymond Ruiz and Nick Fisher. There is always room for cuties on the bus.

One more, with the tiny animals on the left all lined up and standing at attention this time…
