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.
ScotttheBadger...If I remember correctly, loons, which are such elegant birds, wear those sexy, black-and-white print body suits, and hoot mournfully a lot.
Mea Culpa about the loons, on taking a proper look, I see that the plumage is wrong, as is the head shape. I must pay more attention before posting. Why those two loons have disguised themselves as Buffleheads, I cannot say.
