BALKing

Shane and I have officially mastered the BART system. Shane takes it to and from work each day; I take it to the grocery store, hairdresser, downtown shopping, etc. Unfortunately, this is the only public transit that we have been brave enough to try.  We hear lots about the MUNI bus system, and of course the famous cable cars (not to mention Caltrain or SamTrans if you're headed south of the city), but so far we're solely BART-riders which unfortunately limits us to certain parts of the city.

Thus, we have coined the term BALK.  BALK is a combination of the words BART and walk. To get to our destination, we take the BART as close as we can and then walk the rest of the way (if it's more than a mile or two we're not going... or we're taking a cab).

Examples:
"I've found a few salons with good Yelp ratings, but I can only BALK to one of them."
"Do you want to try that restaurant they were talking about? I'm pretty sure it's BALKable!"

We're officially lame, and will surely have to get brave at some point, but for now we'll keep BALKing around San Francisco.  Come BALK with us!
