More seen on the walk to work
So, I get out of the BART station this morning, turn right, head for the cross
walk and then I hear the whining sound of a little gas powered scooter. Only
this time it’s not a scooter, it’s a 1/4 scale motorcycle. There was a guy
riding it. His knees were sticking way out to the side and his head was only
about as high off the ground as the bottom of the window on your average car.
So, dude has zoomed up the right side of all the vehicles stopped at the red
light and then the light turns green and he zooms off down the street. The
sight makes me wish I had a cyborg eye with a camera in it so I could share it
with all of you.
The other thing I saw was a few blocks down, two boys waiting for the bus
threw down their bags and started swinging at each other. There was an adult
there in his late 20s to early 30s. He was sort of encouraging the boys along.
at one point they got tangled up in a grapple and the guy split them apart and
said “One of you is gonna have ta whoop tha other!” and let them go back at it.
At this point they had moved to just a bit to an empty parking lot and one boy
was just bouncing around and away from the other with his fists up while the
second boy was moving his right fist in a circular motion like he was winding
up for a good punch. All the while the adult was repeating alternately to each
boy, “Whoop his ass!” That was all I saw as I then turned the corner and left
the excitement behind.
Ah Mission District, you never fail to amaze me.
