Please welcome Eugenia Chien. She's one of those successful bloggers who -- get this -- doesn't have a driver. (Can you imagine?) Living a life without a chauffeur, she is forced to ride Muni. Thank God. Otherwise, we might not have her musing over at Muni Diaries, a site dedicated to bizarre and fascinating SF MTA-related tales, photos and more.

Take it away, m'lady.
