Not Even a High Five
All the MUNI drivers are friends. Well maybe not ALL, but many. They don't just smile or wave at each other when two buses pass each other, they sometimes come to a complete stop in the middle of the street and start talking to each other.
Today, on Market Street, I had just gotten off the 71 Haight bus and was waiting to cross the street when I saw another 71 Haight bus driving in the opposite direction of the one I'd just departed. The light was red so I stood there waiting, and watching the two bus drivers. They just drove right past each other! They didn't even give the nod or anything!
I wonder if there's a big MUNI driver drama going on and they're in a fight. I wonder if they used to be friends and now they're not. I wonder if there was some sort of bus battle.

Dude. I had one of these moments with the univ shuttle folks - they always wave. Until one woman decided to leave the stop early and our driver went on a rampage about her. Told us to call and complain. It was awesome.
Clearly they are ex-lovers and now can't stand the sight of each other....
There's a Muni driver power struggle and those two were not in the same alliance. Lucky they didn't swerve into each other.
I am going to comment os something not written about...thank you for linking the Danmark blogger.I like it very much.

Green,
I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to respond to your email before I left (I had issues with my phone once I left Canada and I was pretty much off the grid.)
San Francisco was such a whirlwind for us but I am definitely going to make it back one day. Hot chocolate next time?
