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.

We do it to save you the trouble

We go places and take photos to save our readers the trouble, hassle, and expense of travelling around. We do it for you!


Rolled back home to Maggie's HQ in Yankeeland at 3:15 this morning after several lengthy flight delays, stuck irritably in the Houston airport. I only have time to post one pic now - our hotel suite's terrace overlooking the quiet and peaceful Pacific side of Cabo San Lucas (as opposed to the Sea of Cortez side). Very pleasant to step into your palatial suite (His and Hers bathrooms, daily sheet changes, hot and cold-running help, chilled Pacificos on hand with lime slices, etc) and to see this sight (decadent hot tub out of sight on the left):



I found Baja Sur to be interesting in many ways. I'll get to my many pics and thoughts about it over the next few days. And yes, Capt. Tom and Dr. Merc, I did do a little fishin' - but just coastal fishing for dinner.


Morning links later today, if I can get my brain in order.

I hope you would have done some fishing - that's prime territory. There are only two places in the world I would go back to on purpose to fish and Cabo is one of them.

Glad your back safe and sound even if a little fuzzy.

I'm glad about the fishing, but I'm a little worried about the brain part. If his brain's out of order, how will it know when it's working again??

Come on Doc - you're a computer guru - it's called Giant Cosmic Reset Button or Ctrl-Alt-Delete. :>)

I'm also wondering about the hot/cold running help - wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more.

Say, I hadn't noticed that business about the "hot and cold-running help" before. Is Bird Dog referring to their body temperature, emotional temperment, or gender temptation? And why is he having the help run everywhere? Walking to the bar and back with your 8th Mai Tai of the evening isn't fast enough for the serious drinking man? Jeez, Cap'n, thanks to your keen observation, in one sentence BD has gone from being a respectable blogger to a slave-driving drunk!

Keep up the good work,
Doc

Thanks for saving me the trouble! I'll just sit here in the cold and rain and try to think happy thoughts.
