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.

Just downloaded the Merlin app to my phone, finally. I work our land outside quite a bit, and have been steadily identifying the flora using iNaturalist. Now it's time for fauna!

Google is sneaky, though. They position their own 'bird identify' app right next to Merilin, and then they further position the 'install' button in a way that makes you assume that it's for Merlin. Sneaky, devious b*stards. Uninstalled it right away.

And then today, got word from AT&T, in a letter dated a month ago, that, by the way, we had us a little 'data breach' problem a while back......too bad, so sad.

Meanwhile we've been jumping through our butt the past 3 weeks replacing our credit cards because of fraud activities: Mystery solved. Thanks AT&T !

Check your credit cards and accounts history, folks.
