Friday eMusings

I like to people-watch. This morning, sitting on the Muni train, I was amused by an rider who was a contrast in stereotypes. He was a young guy, wearing baggy jeans and a dark grey sweatshirt with the hood up, shrouding his head. He was listening to a CD in his headphones, and there was a skull and crossbones on his sweatshirt. And he was carrying golf clubs. :)

This evening, waiting on the platform for the Muni to arrive, I saw a gentleman with a seeing-eye dog who didn't seem sure of where he wanted to be. I offered to help, and directed him to the side of the platform he wanted. His dog was a beautiful yellow lab named Genoa, and the guy was a good looking middle-aged man. Think Mayor Riordan of Los Angeles. I chatted with him a while, and it turns out he lives on a boat and teaches sailing to kids. What a guy!

I've mentioned in the past the smells I encounter in the city from people who don't bother to find a urinal. Pictured above is one of the toilets the city has erected to help relieve this problem by giving the homeless a place to go. It's a pay toilet.

Also pictured is a talented musician playing a one-stringed instrument with a bow, like a violin. Maybe some day I'll snap a shot of the xylophone/accordion playing duo.
