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.

No pig. Pics instead.

Failed to bag any pigs on my pig trip to CA, but did bag some pics of pig country:

My brother-in-law used to hunt pigs in the Big Sur area, at night, with dogs, with knives.
He's older and smarter now.

Ah, the warm green and brown hills of childhood. I'm really glad I moved away a long time ago given what the state has become. But the memories are wonderful.

Re: "Too steep, no Jeep"
Is that a warning ... or a challenge?

Yeah, the top one in particular, with those solid-looking trees. Very Bentonesque.

Those pigs with the antlers look like good eating, but they'd be hard to explain at the game warden's station, I guess.

Gwynnie ... Couldn't you have cut off the heads of those deer and called them pigs? Who'd know? Good eating, too.

It's possible that California has hired game wardens who can't tell a pig from a wapiti without the head. I'd have said the legs were a clue, myself.
True story: some years ago, a Montana hunter with a doe tag bagged -- a llama.

All the elk around here dropped there antlers about a month ago.
