Thanks for making me homesick...so thoughtful of you.

Whoa! I was just joking! I have no problems finding beauty in untraditional places, it just doesn't apply to butt ugly architectural things that make me feel dark and icky and trapped and depressed when I step off the train.

Trust a Capricorn to think I was talking about a competition, when really I was just trying to be right....

Actually, being serious, I think Cancers often find beauty in nontraditional places. We're the girls who like ugly boys because they are nice.

YOu know our psychic powers enable us to see beauty and truth through a facade....

Besides, you know Capricorns are just Cancers with more ambition (usually) and more self control.

Well, honestly I thought you might like it.

Oh, but remember MacArthur is a place of Oakland skank land. My work is a block from the station. I vote 16 st/Mission to Balboa as the most urine soaked stations.

I think 12th street Oakland and 19th street Oakland look really nice - but those damn stairs. When I first started taking my bike around, I read all the rules, and it said "no bikes on escalators" so I carried my stupid bike up stupid 19th street station stairs. I'm pretty fit, but I almost had a f**king heart attack by the time I got to the top.

Never. Again. Not only that, but I now use the elevator to the street at that station, too.

See...this is the funny thing with Cap and Cancer...
I was joking in the first place. This happens with all my wonderful, beautiful Cancer friends. It's kinda weird, but funny.

Very funny. I think my Cancer friends like me more than I do them. LOL. But then Cancers are known for being clingy! LOL.

Well...off I go into the night in LA. How I do miss SF...

Enjoy your evening! Talk soon.

Yeah, I always like people better than they like me.

Okay, not always. Actually I don't like that many people. But when I do, that applies.

It's our great sorrow, you know, so you should be nice to us.

Makes us funny, though.

And instead of "clingy" we prefer "loyal, extra concerned, delighted, and caring"

Do any other Cities have multi level trains like they do in Sydney? Our subway is shiiite...doesn't really cover a great deal, in fact I don't know if you could consider it a subway...more a railway service...but yer back to my question, I get the feeling no where else has multi level trains.

You mean double decker trains? I know in parts of France they do and can you believe it, there was something in the paper recently about the British considering this idea as well..they need to, coz it's crap on a lot of overland trains as well.Not sure how they'd do that though, Victorian made bridges are teeny and double deckers just wouldn't go.Hmmm

MFM...your pics were obviously taken during a "quiet " time, not the 5pm rush hour..haha
