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.

"Tolerance" is a one-way street. How about plain good manners? Michelle on the chocolate Jesus

Evita sending Bill out to raise money. A sign that she is worried. Who is running? And one rhetorical question: How come Rudy gets all sorts of attacks this week for answering a question by saying that perhaps his wife might attend a Cabinet meeting on a topic of special interest to her - while Bill Clinton ran as "two presidents for the price of one"? Hillary attended meetings whenever she wanted.

Breaking into houses at night and killing women and children. The US Army pays a visit to Omar's Baghdad home.

Nice example of justice in Texas. Ace. A bad day for the little Mrs.

Wonderful pic. No wonder that Tulip Mania, back when.

Love that Skagit Valley. Wonderful farms and lots of Dutch folks. North of Bellingham is the very Dutch town of Lynden that has a B&B in a windmill.

Here is another beautiful barn & tulip pic.

And while in Lynden, go to the Dutch Bakery on Front Street.

Is that this year's photo, or last years?

Not sure, but I have seen it so I'm assuming it was from last year or before. I just found it on their website:
