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.

Jaws

I never thought of Wellfleet on Cape Cod as an elite place, but it's very pleasant. The f-ing sharks (I didn't mind the seals before the sharks found them) are a major downer because body surfing in the chilly ocean is one of the coolest things in life.


And, no, nothing about climate. Great Whites don't care about temperature - only about food. 


Fact is, risk is very low but so is golfing in a thunderstorm.

Looks a lot like the opening scene in Jaws...

The shore is safer... but I love to buffet the sea — I can count the bitter wrecks here in these pleasant waters, and hear the murmuring winds, but oh, I love the danger! ~Emily Dickinson, letter to Annie P. Strong, 1851

Saw one last night The Day of the Dolphin!
Hillary has revealed the vast MAGA weather conspiracy and I hope Putler (KGB) and TrumpHitlerSatan (Vulgarian) turn off the orbital heat wave lasers before the backwoods militia attacks!
All clown shoe aside is it just regular migration patterns or surely there is some way to blame globull warming.
Only Greta and Hillary can save us now!

Jaws 2, due to production delays, was filmed in part at Navarre Beach, east of Pensacola, Fl. It used to be a nice, quiet little community. Now the main drag is a parking lot for several miles.
