For the five of you out there who have wondered what the glass at the Muni stop would look like if smashed...wonder no more:
We spotted this scene at the Oakdale Muni stop in Bayview at around 4:30 this afternoon on our way to an appointment...after the T Line train we were on started leaking and conked out one station back. Folks on the street said the glass panel had fallen on its own (eh?) and injured at least one guy, but one has to wonder if a tale like that warranted the number of firefighters on the scene (around 6). The station was closed off for at least half an hour. More photos beneath the fold. --Janine Kahn
While on a leisurely lunch break in picturesque South Park, I stumbled across a pair of lunchers who were hunched over this little guy. The man murmured, "Hello, rat, are you sleeping?" while his female companion adjusted her giant sunglasses and harumphed, "He's probably dead!"
This seemed to settle the argument and after they sauntered away I proceeded to give the maybe-corpse the paparazzi treatment.
Is it possible this little guy expired from the oppressive heat wave that's settled over the city? Are our rats really so delicate? Or is he, as the cup-half-full observer speculated, just napping? Or...is he just stoned?
More adorable portraits of the probably dead rat after the jump.
My phone is ringing off the hook with friends celebrating the Supreme Court's 4-3 decision to throw out the ban on gay marriage, making California the second U.S. state to legalize same-sex weddings.
CBS has the news, as does CNN. And SFist tells queers everywhere where to register. Rejoice, Crate and Barrel!
