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.

A free ad for Karen Brown's travel books

"Savvy travelers have come to depend on Karen Brown's recommendations."


Yes, indeed.  Over the years, Karen Brown has never recommended a dud to us. For the past few years, Mrs. BD has relied entirely on her travel and inn recommendations. She's not about Hiltons, The Four Seasons, Sheratons. She's not about discount places either, or mass market. She's about boutique charm and local flavor.


Books by Karen Brown.


Her books are absurdly expensive as listed there (no idea why). Just Google her, and you can find them for $4.99. Most libraries have them too.

Algorithms are funny. Amazon has had some pricing battles going on where the algorithm gets stuck in an infinite loop and generates some insane prices. I looked at a book today that was priced around $150, but I bought it for $12.

It gets better:

The algorithms are everywhere!
