Actually was on my hand for a bit but I didn’t get a picture.

I had a jumping spider climb onto my handlebars while biking at Marina Green. Little fren along for a ride! 🕷️🚲

@rollovereasy.org I have coach 8623 today. Keep an open eye out for your friendly operator!

A red and white mug full of coffee with the Muni logo next to a black baseball hat that also has the Muni logo.

@rollovereasy.org Goooooooooood morning from Dogpatch! I’ll drink the coffee in my Muni mug, put on my Muni hat, then hit the streets. I wonder if any Rollies will catch my 44 O’Shaughnessy this morning?

Big ups to that operator! I am also a transit operator, which is why I replied. Sometimes people don’t think to get video from the bus!

You probably know this, but the bus has camera data that can be used to document the collision. You need to ensure it is preserved by requesting it. Time, route, location should be enough, but if you got the coach number, that is best.

@rollovereasy.org Gooooooooooood morning from the 44 O’Shaughnessy! I have coach 8752 today, I wonder if any Rollies can spot my bus?

We got a DM the other day with a fun request from a local family:

Could we find this nice BART train operator who always waved and beeped at this special little rider?

And if we found him, could we deliver him a thank you card!? 

So we got to work …

From 'I Explain Some Things' by Pablo Neruda, about the Spanish Civil War. Translated by Mark Eisner

Come and see the blood in the streets,
come and see
the blood in the streets,
come and see the blood
in the streets!

You will ask why his poetry
doesn’t speak to us of dreams, of the leaves,
of the great volcanoes of his native land?

yet from every dead child rises a rifle with eyes,
yet from every crime bullets are born
that one day will find the target
of your heart.

Traitor
generals:
behold my dead house,
behold Spain destroyed:
yet instead of flowers, from every dead house
burning metal flows,
yet from every hollow of Spain
Spain flows,

Jackals the jackal would reject,
stones the dry thistle would bite then spit out,
vipers the vipers would despise!

Facing you I have seen the blood
of Spain rise up
to drown you in one single wave
of pride and knives!

Bandits with airplanes and with Moors
bandits with finger-rings and duchesses,
bandits with black friars making blessings,
kept coming from the sky to kill children,
and through the streets the blood of the children
ran simply, like children’s blood.

And one morning everything was burning
and one morning the fires
were shooting out of the earth
devouring beings,
and ever since then fire,
gunpowder ever since,
and ever since then blood.

Every time it rains in San Francisco, let that increase your empathy for the unhoused.

There are only three canonical Mans: Super, Spider, and Bat. Of course there are many other powerful players in the Mans field; Mega, Iron, Ultra, Boogie, Youda, Sand, Ant, etc, who deserve their place in the Pantheon (mantheon?) of Mans, the Big Three will always stand apart.

Never cross a picket line.

@rollovereasy.org Goooooooooood Morning from my Muni bus! Challenge for ROE listeners: snap a photo of my 44 O’Shaughnessy this morning. I have coach 8656, and I leave 6th Ave and California at 7:33am

Glad you said hello! And of course: Thank you for riding Muni!

@rollovereasy.org Guac-Off is Saturday, September 12th? Or Sunday, September 13th?

Hey that’s my faucet

@rollovereasy.org goooooooooood morning from Dogpatch! ☕️

They have all gone to that eternal uncontained lithium battery fire in the sky. 🙏

Emailed!

I was invited to speak at the opening, but I haven’t really spent a lot of time with the photographs yet. Planning to go next week. SFMTA is really lucky to have a staff photographer who is so dedicated to documenting preserving and maintaining our history.

Connect Bay Area Signature Gathering Kickoff image, a simplified BART and Caltrain map of the 5 counties

Tomorrow's my birthday, and I'm asking for just one little thing - to save Bay Area transit!

Join me for the kickoff for Connect Bay Area, which will keep BART, AC Transit, and other agencies running strong service.

I'll be at the Oakland event at 12:15 pm. Details: luma.com/le1g7slf?tk=...
