Bellevue

-

 Now onto the granddaddy of all the KCLS libraries -- found via a new-to-me "Eastrail", unpaved but pretty scenic and level and quite rural and scenic looking....

And then, though back in the hubbub on outskirts of Bellevue with numerous cars whizzing by me, and struggling to pedal up yet another hill, there suddenly were two deer munching on trees not 10 feet away from me -- we were all 3 surprised & startled!

But it had been another long bike trip -- only took me like an hour and 3/4s to get home via our 'wonderful' buses -- I was tired and forgot to even take any other pix except for the outside license plate wall when I first arrived


(I particularly like the "Lunatic Musical Nullify" string...!)

Slept fitfully in anticipation of following days' two year fullfillment (choosing

 Very close to White Center (and methinks, not too far from some of the SW Seattle branches I had biked to which now seemed so long ago already!) I came upon Greenbridge! Not only one of the only branches without their collection online, but also having no music CDs to check out (what sacrilege!) but also about the only branch without a bike stand outside to lock up to...! But at least one staffer inside recognized me from the occ. post about this bike venture I have been putting on the KCLS staff association facebook page!
