Zane - Independence Day

10:00 a.m. - Neighborhood Kiddie Parade

The south end neighborhood celebrates with a children's parade on Saturday morning at 10.  Catching the conversations and grouping of youngsters caught my eye; three reds, three boys, balloons, and the face of miss independence on the blue bike.

5:00 p.m. -  Tacoma's Finest

The police had a large presence at the Tacoma waterfront festival.   They were discussing control of the anxious traffic and parking situation in the tightly packed North end neighborhood.

10:00 p.m.  - Dark

Joined friends on a rooftop deck overlooking Commencement Bay.  The place was a bit wobbly even with a tripod.  We covered ourselves in blankets on lounge chairs, sipped wine and oooo-ed and aaaaah-ed.
