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.

Inspired Work

Ever since seeing A Clockwork Orange, Gene Kelly's work has taken on a whole new meaning.  Along these lines, I will share this video, sent by a friend and created by a comedian, which has completely changed how I will view The Association's Windy from this day forward.  I can't say I know how to describe my feelings as I viewed it, but I've settled on amused.  Sorry I don't have an embed version, you need to click the link.

My name being Wendy, that song has been a thorn in my side for decades.

I grew up in Chicago burbs in the 60’s and essentially everyone thought this was about our Windy City. That was when I went to bed knowing Richard Daly had everything under control, even out to our little village 17 miles away.

Grew up in ultra-LIB Boulder, CO; home of bra-less bike riders bending over their handlebars in loose tops to certainly "give me a rainbow" view of those lovely tatas!

Surprised to this day I was never seriously injured running off the bike paths, while distracted!
