With Alcatraz in the distance, MUNI Cable Car #15 crests a hill on the Powell/Hyde cable car line, just one block shy of the world-famous Lombard Street.
The floral arrangements were a nice touch.
I fell in love with the Cable Car Tour Dress from Modcloth.com, but didn't want to pay for it. So I made it!
It's actually the Madison pattern from Burda Style, with an altered collar--I didn't connect the side, and I added buttons.

I've never had a chance to go up to the Big Buddha by cable car. Too busy and long line ups have put me off. With recent events, it has been easier to check out the tourist sights.
It takes your 20 minutes to come up to the top,and there is an other world...
Genting Highlands.

cable lock is bad. cable lock not around any stationary object is worse. these 2 bikes were attached to each other but no one had the bright idea to loop the signpost into the lock job.
So my wife and I are fixing up a room for her parents to use during their visit from India this summer. Last night I bought a small tv, hooked it up to the cable, and nothing...just static. It was late so I went to bed.
This morning, I checked my connections, everything looked good, climbed up in the attic and poked around and realized, hmmmm, I don't see where the cable drop is to that outlet.
Downstairs I went, removed the cable outlet, and gently started pulling on the cable. This is what I found.
It does help when the other end of the cable is connected to something.
This is from the archives as unfortunately the building has been 'renovated' and the classic Soviet neon sign has been replaced with a garish new one. The cable car goes out the back of the building up a hill called Koktube.
Factory built in around 1912 for local man Harold W. Smith, specialising in cables and cabling for the mining industry. One of only four works in the country that could produce braided electrical cables at the outbreak of the First World War, as a result was awarded contracts from the Ministry of War producing parts for the 'D mk III' field telephone.
The workforce grew from 40 [1912] to 650 as well as works operating on a double shift pattern for the duration of the war. By 1918, 15,000 miles of electrical cable had been produced.
Post war slump resulted in the 'H. W. Smith & Co' works going into administration. Works bought by 'Edison Swan Electric Co' [later 'Associated Electrical Company' and Siemens] to produce power lines cabling.
During the Second World War, the works had [again!] one of the four machines in the country able to produce lead tubes. These tubes were used in the construction of 'PLUTO' 'Pipe-Line Underwater Transportation of Oil' / 'Pipe-Lines Under the Ocean' which were fuel lines between the Isle of Wight and France to support the invasion of Normandy, 'Operation Overlord'.
The cable works closed in 1966 and was bought by a paper & cardboard company 'Reed Paper Group' who manufactured packaging.
The factory closed in the mid-1990s.

So then I went to visit the famed bohemian district, Santa Teresa, which is most easily accessible by the streetcar, which runs every 15 minutes or so and costs 60c.
