So here we go again. More security camera footage that really makes me question my decision to move here. Actually, it makes me wonder if I never actually left Lakewood at all. You remember Lakewood? The mental health facility I used to work at? What if instead of getting fired from there, in an ironic twist, very similar in fact to one of the actual residents there, I turned from mental health professional to mental health patient and was admitted into my own mental health facility here in Sebring. And it's called Lakeview. It kind of does sound like a mental health facility name doesn't it?
But honestly, it's not me who needs mental health assessment and medication, it's my neighbors. And one in particular, yep, once again, NoFu, who already looks and acts very much like one of the patients from Lakewood who I already named but I'll try to refrain from doing so to protect HIPAA and all but privately to myself that's exactly what I call him.
So what's he done now, you ask? Well other than yesterday when I was hearing voices outside my bedroom window as I was sitting here at the desk and wondering if Dan and the Lamonts had come back for another haul, I checked and lo and behold there was NoFu standing on the edge of my carport munching on a donut and sipping from a cup of coffee talking to another neighbor who was walking her dog.
Oh by the way, kind of off subject, but I've noticed quite often lately, and I've never seen this much over the past five years but it seems to be a current trend, everybody and their cousin seems to be walking their dogs all in my yard. Well actually, I say my yard but more accurately they're going through the back of my yard as it connects all through the back of all the houses between Bayview and Skyview so it's not really my yard it's all of our yards but still the chance of a dog deciding to do its duty where I mow once a month is a definite possibility. I haven't had the problem of mowing dog shit yet but if that does happen you will not see a smile on my fucking face for sure. Anywho...
So I'll give this dude another pass for that little bit of a transgression since it did appear that he was merely stepping a little bit onto my carport in order to let the neighbor and her pug pass as they were discussing whatever the fuck they were discussing since I couldn't actually hear what they were saying. But clearly this guy has no boundary issues and that can be a problem. Especially in light of what I discovered in this morning's motion alert capture from the Carport South Cam.
So I've made it a practice to check through my security cam alerts each morning when I get up just to check if anything interesting has gone on. Usually it's just a car moving down the road or, as I've mentioned before, there's a couple stray cats that like to carouse around and they probably purposefully set off my security cameras because I think I've seen them give this smirking glance over at the camera as a big fuck you to the camera saying "I'm a cat you can't do anything to me."
But today several alerts just after 4:00 a.m. showed NoFu walking out into the middle of the street and then walking back to his house. That's it. Just walking out to the middle of the street and back to his house. Then, at 4:29 a.m., he walks out to the middle of the street with a big American flag draped over his left arm, stops in the middle of the road, raising both arms as if to make it look like he's saying Allah Akbar or something and then walks back to his house. End of the 11 second video. Of course it's 4:29 a.m. so it's very low light and it's only a motion capture alert video so it's low res and shitty quality but I swear that's what he's doing and I know it's him because I know the way he walks and it's his house that he's coming out of. I mean you look at the video, what do you see?
Maybe I should blame Ric. I think it was him that gave me the idea years ago of buying into a retirement mobile home community. Thanks Ric. Great idea. What should be my retirement years are actually now like as if I'm right back at the mental health facility all over again!
