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.

Scouting New York

See it? A tiny green 3 1/2- story 1860 brownstone in mid-town Manhattan:



That photo is brought to you by Scouting New York, who says:



I work as a film location scout in New York City. My day is basically spent combing the streets for interesting and unique locations for feature films. In my travels, I often stumble across some pretty incredible sights, most of which are ignored every day by thousands of New Yorkers in too much of a rush to pay attention.

As it happens, it's my job to pay attention, and I've started this blog to keep a record of what I see.

Thanks for the link to the Lego site. Our family -- three generations -- is addicted to them. At Christmas, they're the main stocking stuffer for the adults; the kids get bigger sets. My son and I prefer the buckets that allow creativity, so your blog is an inspiration!

Scouting is a very interesting site.

looking at it again, should it not technically then be called a "greenstone"?
