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.

Incredible accomplishment by NASA and for the USA. Show the videos to your kids...this is real and not videogame nonsense. Maybe, just maybe, one of those kids will be inspired. Nothing woke about this. These Mars missions are incredible, and if you are of the age, they should bring back memories of the beginnings of the Space Age with Sputnik in 1957. The U.S. response to Sputnik was unbelievable and 12 years later we had a man on the Moon.
