I intended to walk after breakfast this morn, but then I saw a really old streetcar i hadnt seen before, i veered off and jumped on to check it out..
It's one of those early 20th century ones.. all iron outside, polished teak and mahogany inside. Massive fucker too.
"I havent seen this one before, which one is this?", i asked the conductor.
"Its the streetcar named Desire from New orleans."
"Oh, cool."
In New Orleans, they didnt have numbered streetcars, just the street names of route they took, so this one once traversed the Desire route.
I got off at 7th street, the conductor waved at me and the green behemoth rumbled up Market into the drizzle and fog...

JPennant: earthquake
McClint: really?
JPennant: long one, jhang on
McClint: awesome! now we just need either a blizzard or 200 tornados in the midwest to spread out the destruction across the US
JPennant: ok, the tremor is down
McClint: sure it wasn't just a delivery truck or a fat man falling out of bed?
JPennant: im on the 4th floor of the sf library
JPennant: massive building
JPennant: it felt like a gentle, rythmic circular motion
McClint: hehe harmonic
JPennant: at first i thought it was me
McClint: having a fainting spell again?
JPennant: then I noticed city hall across the park was moving in the opposite direction
McClint: you really do need your morning latte and bagel, huh?
JPennant: thats actually what it sorta feels like. disorienting
McClint: ok... the "From IE" links is just an html file with all the links in it. i assume you had no probs with that one, right?
JPennant: nope
JPennant: just the safari files
McClint: ok hang on..
A few people did sprint from the building, but most folk excitedly chattered and collectively went 'whoa', then went back to what they were doing.
It all lasted about 30 seconds or so..
Strongest yet ive felt here.
