Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

One of my favorite Thurber cartoons is the one of a classic desert island [one palm tree, etc.] and a guy in ragged pants leaning over and murmuring in the ear of a scantily dressed woman, who is saying "*I'd* know -- that's who'd know!"

A mystery. The link works for me. Maybe there's something odd about flickr so that the address in the window somehow isn't sufficient.
