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.

Look out Houston, storm is comin' through...

A mean storm on the Texas coast. We are all thinking of y'all down there. Too serious of a storm, it seems, to facetiously blame it on Al Gore's new movie.


This tune's been going through my head again. The lyrics are incoherent on top, so how come it fits together so well that you can memorize them in five minutes, and it can stick in your brain forever?  Thus, perhaps, the Nobel prize.


Where is Alicia Keyes?

We are inland, but likely to be on the wet side of the storm. It is predicted that we will get between 15 and 30 inches of rain in the next 5 days.

If you pray, pray for those of us in its path.

I'm down here halfway between Houston and the coast (Alvin).
As of now (8:30pm Sat), it's just been a rainy Saturday.
About 7 1/2" of rain, but it's been dry here, so half of it disappeared quickly. Wind? Well, sort of. Nothing out there has moved, and the lights haven't even flickered.
The TV news people are all in "we're gonna die" mode.

When ice reaches TX roads in areas where it doesn't freeze very much, similar to Alvin or a bit colder, watching TV weather reports - LIVE WITH- would give the viewer the impression that what occurred had the magnitude of the bomb being dropped on Hiroshima.
Weather Underground is better than TV weather.
