Female Boxer Challenges Haight Street Lamp Post
So you're waiting for Muni on the corner of Haight and Pierce on a drizzly Monday morning, and as one packed bus after another passes you by, you're starting to get the sinking feeling that today is just gonna be another awful day. And then this happens.

Haighteration reader Erik F. sends us this inspirational video, captured during his morning commute today, of a woman apparently sparring with a lamp post outside of Axum Cafe: Does she care that it's raining? No. That people are watching? No. That she's wearing a purse? No. That's the difference between her and us. That's what's gonna make her a champion.
