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.

Morning links will be late today due to climate change

It's not the snow (why do they call them snow "storms" when it's just snow and a little blow?), it's not the invigorating cold, but it's the ice that's the challenge this morning. Comment: "Snowy weather, and stores are sold out of eggs, milk, and bread. Does that mean everybody is living on French Toast?"


Catch up on our weekend posts - good stuff. Hey, we predicted the score pretty well, did we not? Good game, unlike most Super Bowls. We went to a happily guacamole-free party. They had veggie dip, chili, cornbread, salad, baked brie, and brownies, two cozy blazing fireplaces, and no giant TV. Perfect.


5 AM today at the Maggie's HQ, waiting for my plow and sand team to show up. I love it all:

Super Bowl XLIX: Patriots vs. Seahawks highlights

Great Super Bowl. Did Mike Bobo call Seattle's last offensive play? (UGA fans will understand the reference.)

At the one-yard line with Lynch in the backfield and the game, and the world championship in the balance: a pass play? Woody Hayes' sage words concerning the forward pass: "Three things can happen when you pass and two of them are bad." ...with Lynch in the backfield. The antepenultimate play's circus catch must have had someone feeling invincible.

What a way to roll the dice with all of the chips on the line. It was a time to call all bets off. I am a great Monday morning QB.

Perhaps the Patriots were just, in fact, Destiny's Darlings.

And, that snow? You may keep it. 54°F here this morning and the only ice is in the Frigidaire.
