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.

Um...o.k., I'll bite...

What "background" are we discussing, here?

Um, zero, I guess.

Looked like a couple of 36s to me - C model.

We could count those boats better if you would get out the girl in the bikini bending over and blocking our view

That'd be a total absence of background and boats but check for yourself.

according to your source code, none.
style="background-image: none; border-bottom: darkgreen 0.07em solid; padding-bottom: 1px !important; background-color: transparent ...

True geekdom; Try watching the video itself; More informative than computer code.

"True geekdom; Try watching the video itself..."

Bruce - I'll break this to you as gently as I know how to do - for at least some of us, there's nothing there!

No "video", no "background", no "foreground"...just a lotta nada.

Don't know what else to tell you.

Memo to Bruce: OT Re the Marieanne Valentine thread: Commenting here because the I don't want to take away from the Valentine thread. That was really a neat, thoughtful thing to do. On the one hand I hope you had her permission to publish her picture, OTOH I hope it was a surprise. Anyway, I just thought somebody should tell you.
