There's a bat in my sink, and other signs of community life

"Community" is a big subject. And it is one of the most meaningful, important words in my lexicon. So rather than being overwhelmed by the subject and not knowing where to start, continually chasing the starting points I have into the next moment, I will just begin. I will no doubt re-arrange, rewrite and redux so please do re-visit my "Community" postings as an when you feel inclined.
