BART Musings (take 2)

Our Pastor's account of his recent inaugural MUNI ride in San Francisco reminded me of how much I enjoy taking public transit -- in Chicago, San Francisco, France,...anywhere, really. Great for people-watching and rubbing shoulders (literally, at times) with an interesting cross-section of society. Here are snapshots from this morning's train ride, a reprise of my earlier musings on BART:

Eastbound (morning commute)

The New Yorker . People . San Francisco Chronicle

Until.org poster . "Until A Cure Foundation" for HIV/AIDS awareness

Smart phone . laptop . iPad . those distinctive white earbuds

Kenneth Cole . Anne Klein . Aerosoles . Rockport

Briefcases . rolling laptop bags . backpacks slung over suited shoulders

"We'll be holding here momentarily due to police activity at Civic Center."

Hoop earrings . pink scarf . unusually big hands...for a woman

Westbound (3 hours later)

Sing Tao Daily . La Raza . San Francisco Bay Guardian

GreaterThan.org poster . The "Greater Than AIDS" movement

Discman . 2nd generation iPod . those distinctive white earbuds

Unlaced suede boots . Chucks . flip flops revealing french manicure and toe rings

Timbuk2 messenger bag . Billabong pack

Hoodies . Raiders sweats . Giants raincoat

Fedora . beanie . menacing barbell in the lobe

Never a dull moment.
