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.

Video Of The Biggest Great White Shark Ever Filmed Surfaces

Here.  They think it's pregnant.


Are Great Whites edible? Makos are delicious.

In 1960, I stood on a cliff here and looked down on a Great White this big as it entered San Francisco. It was heading directly under the Golden Gate. It was later reported to be at least half the size of a submarine. You will have to go to Google maps and type in Sea Cliff, San Francisco, CA

This is big--but, not unusual!

Had one that big come out from under the ship to munch a 6' Marlin off the longline we were recovering. In one, quick bite.

So let that be a lesson to the divers among you, don't be the first one off the boat. And don't dive if the boat operator has let the boat drift for a while, especially in the early morning.

Me I felt safe enough, till I considered the thin sheet of steel between me and that shark. And the condition of the hull.

Had some delicious Mako for dinner once, then a dive off Santa Barbara in the am. I hoped not to see a shark, especially one that might go, "Hey, your breath smells like my wife."
