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.

A plate you probably do not want on your car on Cape Cod this summer



That conservation plate might be even less popular than a Trump-Pence sticker, and that's saying a lot up there. Several beaches closed this week on Cape Cod, Nantucket, and Martha's Vineyard due to White Sharks near shore.  There are human risks to conservation - in this case, seal conservation. Now Massachusetts has become one of the world's largest White Shark congregations.

But who could ever have imagined there might be unintended consequences to the simple act of fixing the ecology of one small part of one single ocean? I'm sure there's no lesson to be learned here when we set about re-ordering the climate of the entire planet.

Delphi is a must see, the treasury of the ancient Greek world.

Athens is a pit. See the Acropolis and museum, then split.

If you can make it to Sicily, the ancient ruins of Segesta and Selinunte on the south coast are much better than Athens. Terrific beaches too.

Driving is a professional sport. If you learned in Boston, you’re OK, otherwise, good luck.

Santorini? Been there. Lovely tourist trap.

Spend a day or two in Athens, get opera tix at the Acropolis, go to the museum, eat Greek food.
