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.

Wellfleet Oysters

Wouldn't you rather be in Wellfleet right now? I would. "Impeach Trump" bumper stickers don't bother me much, because I figger all the cars without rageful bumper stickers are probably people like me.

I figger all the people without rageful bumper stickers are like me too: they are not willing to permanently despoil their ride, expensive or not, with a piece of sticky plastic.

My car is a means of conveyance not a rolling billboard. I feel no compulsion to advertise to strangers who I support politically, where I went to school, where my kids go to school (or that they’re honor students), where I vacation, or my favorite sports team or NASCAR driver.

The creepiest thing I’ve seen lately is the little memorial decal in the back window for dead relatives that reads like a gravestone. What kind of a drama queen has a need to announce such a personal matter to the world on a car decoration, usually right next to the Calvin pissing on a Ford decal.

I believe that people with mental health problems cannot help themselves from acting as though they have mental health issues. We have all seen those Suburu's and Volvo's with 10-20 bumper stickers all of them expressing hate that you have an opinion that they disagree with. Why not simply put a big sign giving the finger to express your craziness. Be honest; have you ever known anyone who does this who was actually normal? The police should pull them over and ticket them for driving while mentally ill.

Well said! These days in the Bay Area CA there are very few Hateful and/or Hillary stickers around. She killed the Dem party.

Try Russ and Marie's Marconi grill. Good food and the oysters are some of the best. I'll be there this weekend.
