There is Something Wrong with this Island...
Yeti and Friends here! Greetings from Orcas Island! We spent some time here this Fall, but I must say we were mostly focused on the whole gold-heist-bank-vault situation. This was a more leisurely trip. We headed into Eastsound to see what all the buzz was about. We heard great things about kayaking, bike rentals, and marine life.
Except some things were very odd.
Tell us, please. How are you meant to paddle a kayak if it’s hanging on a the side of a building? Do you go sideways?
And how do you ride a bike if it’s on a railing? Are you meant to do stunt jumping like BMXers?
Hooray! A wishing well. Weird that there’s a hose nearby. Why do they have to add water to it if it’s a well? But, wait. That’s not the weird part.
Yep. You see that right. There’s a backpack inside the well instead of water. Why? We truly don’t know. Nor can we tell you why this tree has lost all of its bark.
Or what they were thinking when they made this wild bird (we think) sculpture…
And who is meant to help out this poor stranded orca that’s just lying on the ground with people walking past it. They don’t seem concerned. We are! Where is the ocean?
You might think that’s the ocean. However, those seals are concerned for a reason. They don’t know how they got trapped here, either. They’d just like to be swimming away already!
And who, exactly, designs a playground for kids and decides to use rusty sharp metal? Is this a good idea?
The parts of the playground that aren’t rusty metal are mostly slabs of concrete and rocks. What?!
We can do better than this. We’re off to find the Mayor, or the Town Council, or the Tribal Council. There must be someone in charge here.
Wait! Maybe that’s the problem! Maybe no one is in charge here. I know just the way to fix this. “Vote Yeti 2023” Problem solved.
