The bird I saw the other day may be a female house finch, while I was at the Green Ribbon Climate Action Task Force public meeting the other day I brought along my bird book to try to check the different kinds of sparrows. One bike rider suggested as a missed strategy that they might look into renting bikes for downtown. From one perspective this might seem amusing. There is an elevation gain from Commerce Street, where there is a main transit center, and Tacoma Avenue, where the public library has been for over a hundred years. However, from a clear perspective about all factors, your thoughts drift toward the maps of Tacoma in the Footsore Series. There is a nice bike ride all along the Eastern shoreline. The bike rental idea would offer a wonderful ride.
