The Most Acrobatic Boarding of an N-Judah Ever

The other day I was walking out of the Safeway on Market Street and saw what I am now thinking is the most intricate and acrobatic boarding of a streetcar yet.
As I was walking across the street, I could hear someone running behind me. I turned around to look and saw this tall guy, probably in his late 50s or early 60s running with at least 6 bags of groceries in hand, and a 12 pack of diet soda.
That’s a lot to carry anyways, but what was really impressive was his additional “cargo.” I looked and at first I thought he had a feather boa or scarf or something around his neck (hey, it’s San Francisco, and stuff like that’s no big deal). Then I looked again.
It turned out he had his DOG wrapped around his neck, sitting on his shoulders! And from the looks of it, this seemed like something dog owner and dog had practiced quite a bit, since the little dog was seemingly happy, wagging its tail and looking around like this was no big deal. Which, when you think about it is really something, because this guy is running and the dog could easily fall off, if it wasn’t trained properly.
Just another day on the N-Judah line.
