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.

"Trying to fill a hole in California"

Once again, BD, it's just amazing how close our two native states are.

Connecticut Gov Wants Transpo Funding to Fill Budget Holes

It's all about filling holes, and it's just more proof of the symbiotic relationship between these two 'sister states' that both start with the letter 'C' and are composed of 10 to 11 letters. No other state can make such a claim.

Long live CT and CA, sister states forever!

    Recently attended a presentation on "Managing Worker Safety, Productivity, and Regulatory Issues." The Professor droned on, without any supporting data, in what could be summed up in "People get hurt, and some kill themselves."
    My thought was: You got a Grant!
    Sure enough, 10 minutes later he told us about his Grant!
    Maybe he could help them on that asteroid.
