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.

Montenegro

"Black Mountain." It is a nation, a tiny one on the Adriatic.


Friends are taking their kids for a ten-day trip there, now that Europe is open. They want hill-hiking, seafood, and something different.


The Eurozone is desperate to get American tourists back. 10% of the Eurozone's GDP has been tourism, before COVID.

A hometown peer moved to Belgrade last year for its low cost of living, but apparently visas are not as easy to deal with in the Winnie-the-Flu era compared to before. He has to leave every 3 months and return, or something like that.He recommends Rebecca West's book, Black Lamb and Grey Falcon: A Journey Through Yugoslavia, written in the '30s but still relevant.

I had a friend who went to Montenegro about four or five years ago. He loved, loved, loved the country and can't wait to go back, he's hoping to later this year. Wouldn't mind going there sometime myself, but this year won't the the one for me.
