"the cah no move, indy! it no move!"
so i think i'm wreaking havoc on the muni system. i was taking the ph back from fisherman's wharf yesterday when it came to a screeching halt and started sliding backwards. it proceeded to do this three times. the operator turned blanch white and started bugging out because we were on a hill near lombard (and those hills are crazily steep). 4 times he tried to initiate the cable car and 4 times it kept sliding backwards. we almost rolled into an intersection and hit the people behind us. finally, we made it up. some of the women in the car were screaming to get off. i was hanging off the side. it was kind of amusing, actually.
then last night, i was taking the 31 home from union square when the electricity poles that are attached to the cables fell off. they fell off a block away from civic center, once in lower pac heights, once again near inner richmond and then right in the middle of park presidio. the driver was so angry. the asian women on the bus were all cursing in low voices, trying, but not attempting too hard, to hide their annoyance.
so this is what i do. i wreak havoc on the public transportation system in san francisco.
