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.

Back from the Cape

Thanks to all for keeping the "content" flowing.


I am certain that this sign was not there when Thoreau hiked the beautiful beach from Chatham to P'town. BTW, the alcohol rule is ignored and unenforced. There is plenty of brew in those beach coolers.


Note how "crowded" this ocean beach is.

Glad to help, big guy. With me, it's finding just the right 'work song' to hum along to.

Working on the highways and byways
And wearing, wearing a frown
You hear them moanin' their lives away
Then you hear somebody say...

That's the sound of the men, working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men, working on the chain gang
Woe-oe!

It's just a matter of picking out the right song for the right occasion!

    Wasn't a large chunk of that beach washed out to see last winter?

    That's the least crowded I've seen Cahoon Hollow at this time of the year. You're right about the alcohol, people on the Cape (and eastern Mass. in general) drink like crazy, more than just about anywhere I can think of having been around the country. Even the bluehair crowd at the breakfast joints have to have their morning drinks. Maybe everyone is still hanging on the bar at the 'comer and haven't made it down to the beach yet.

    I walked that beach last August...beautiful and soul regenerating.

    If you go near the water, be on the lookout especially for those etc. They make the great white look like a white goldfish, or maybe it's a gold whitefish; whatever.

    Yeah, them Great White Jellyfish are KILLERS! The mob feeds 'em their victims.

    Years ago I met a Scottish girl who told me her name was -- as I heard it -- "Briney Kahoon". Never did exactly figure out how the first name was spelled, but I did see her last name spelled out: Colquohuon.

    Being from South Carolina, I saw that and thought "Calhoun" -- of course; S.C.'s midlands and backcountry having been filled in during the mid-1700s by Scots & Scots-Irish.
