Democracy Dies in Darkness -- Februrary 21

The Super Bowl was on the other day.  I wasn't paying much attention, but I noticed a commercial that the Washington Post had sponsored, about how a free press is important.  Tom Hanks narrated.

Some people feel that images of Lady Liberty are insulting to our so-called president.

Happy Saint Valentine's Day. 2016 -- February 14, 2016

Wells Fargo decorated a spot on one of its buildings near Super Bowl City on Market Street.  It honors the Hearts in San Francisco program which raises money for San Francisco General Hospital:

This heart has a remarkable selection of transit vehicles. 

Super Bowl Alert -- January 28, 2016

Things have been messy down at the end of Market.  The street is closed at Beale.  Beale is now a two-way street with several buses going north, including the 38-Geary and the F-Market bustitution. 

Now there are two 50s on the Ferry Building. 

In fact there are 50s up and down Market Street and all over the place. 

The F line street cars run only along the Embarcadero, cut off from Market Street by the Super Bowl Village. 

F buses, articulated and single, run from Castro to Don Chee Way, by the museum. 

Its not a train, its a streetcar.  This sign is on the shelter on Don Chee Way. 

WaaTeeKaa Shrouded in Mystery -- January 26, 2016

The Bechtel Museum is housed in a railroad car in the plaza behind the company's headquarters.   The Bechtel family lived in a railroad car, the WaaTeeKaa, at remote job sites in the 1920s. This car, originally from the Chicago, Saint Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha, was restored to externally resemble the WaaTeeKaa as a gift to Steve Bechtel, Senior and his wife Laura in 1988.

On Juanuary 14, a  crew started to erect a tent over WaaTeeKaa.  We stood in the window of our office and speculated why they might be doing it.  I suggested that the roof of the wooden car could have developed a leak during our big storms, or they want to protect it from the upcoming Super Bowl festivities. 

Mad Number 117 -- January 23, 2016
