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.

This morning's hunt

Deer season is open at my friend's ranch in California.

(sigh!) Looks like home! That's what I'd call a 'classic' California shot -- it has those tree-sprinkled, bare rolling hills like nowhere else in the USA. Brown in the summer, but catch them in the spring when the green grass is a'growin' and it's a sight to behold.

By the way, I take it that's your buddy Hal in the picture? It looks like he's put on a few pounds from here. He might take a tip from a gal that was in front of me at the Burger King the other day. She was a big girl and ordered three cheeseburgers, but made sure to order a Diet Pepsi so as not to pile on the extra calories. A word to the wise, and all that.

Great pics -- keep 'em comin'!

    Ahhhh! That is the California I remember. What a beautiful state.

    Beautiful indeed.

    But this time of year, that landscape is hot, dry, and dusty. I was just back in the Coast Range around SF Bay yesterday.

    September and October can be the hottest months here in NorCal.

    Deer season in the middle of Summer. Wow. How do you get the carcass cooled down before spoilage sets in, in 100 degree heat?
