Wildlife Photography! Yeah Right

It is always a little squirrelly around here.

Ok, got birds, insects, and rodents.  That is about the extent of our wildlife. Last year there was a black snake, but I haven’t seen it this summer.

All of these, including the butterfly, were taken with the Olympus Pen F and the modest Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 14-150mm f/4-5.6 II Lens.

Catalina continues to perk right along. I decided that Sidecar does every that I need so it will be bye-bye to Duet.

I am not designed for community living. Today I got a questionnaire in my box.

  1. Do you feel you have input into areas that impact your life at The Asylum?  Seriously? They don’t even have Guinness in the bar.
  2. Do you find a sense of purpose and fulfillment at The Asylum? This is where I live. Where I sleep and eat and where someday I will die. But, it doesn’t provide “purpose and fulfillment”. And, I don’t want it too. The Asylum is a building. A not for profit corporation.  Not my spiritual advisor.
  3. Is The Asylum seen as an inclusive and accepting community where all people feel welcome? Not really, it is a lot like 8th grade.
  4. Do you feel you have access to programs and services that not only entertain but also inspire and promote wellness? I am not entertained. Or inspired. And, I don’t need someone to tell me to eat my veggies.

Now, what really worries me is that management paid a consulting firm to create this worthless survey. Wait, that would be a fine place to use one of my favorite unused words. Now, what really worries me is that management paid a consulting firm to create this nugatory survey.

My friends say I complain about everything here at The Asylum. Maybe it is time to move back to the real world.

But, it would be a better plan to try really hard to just ignore 95% of what goes on here. Just stay in my lane. Pretend that this is just a strange apartment that I happened to rent. And to hell with the “being engaged in community life” crap.
