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.

Here's a shot from our Ducks Unlimited Dinner Thursday night. We have a superb committee of guys who put this together each year, and an excellent crowd of semi-rowdy and actively-bidding sportsmen. We must have raffled at least 15 rifles and shotguns, among the 100+ cool items and trips, etc we raffled and auctioned. Good, wholesome, well-lubricated American fun for the cause of conservation. Now we begin planning for next year, but first the committee will relax and enjoy a few pheasant shoots with the dogs before the snow flies.

A great evening once again, Bird Dog.
You do one hell of a good job. Thanks!

I will second the above. Some incognito you have there, Bird Dog, but I won't blow it.

A great event. Hope we raised lots of $ for the ducks, etc.

Another great job, Chairman Dog.
But your photo caught me looking like a dork.

Hell of a good job, Bird Dog. It was a fine event - keep up the good work.

But how about more stuff for gal Christmas presents? We do not want to have to shop on Christmas Eve for meaningless trinkets at the last moment to try to appease the little wifie at home for all of our sins, and minor transgressions.
