19 Polk

The 19 Polk is a bus line that goes from Hunters Point (the ghetto), past the county jail and though the Tenderloin. It's always smelly, weird and generally entertaining. We've informed my new coworker about it. He's a recent immigrant to SF from Nashville.

Yesterday, my new co-worker Matt mentioned it was his birthday, so I took him out to lunch at Brenda's French Soul Food. It's a bit far to walk there from the office, so we jumped on the 19.

Luckily, the bus did not disappoint. A cracked out homeless looking guy got on the bus. He started talking to us in a friendly way. He didn't seem high. Then he pulled out his medical marijuana card to show us. And a huge bottle of morphine pills.

I think that was where we were supposed to be impressed and offer to buy some off him.
