Maggie's Farm

Two days of global warming brought the Northwest up to 79 . Great for planting the garden, bulbs are all blooming. However, today we saw about a 20 degree drop.

ahhh geez--were you folks ever really hippies? I have a theory about the "baby boomer generation". It does not begin until 1948. The first year that some returning GI s were able to see their college degree actually in hand (senior year maybe). Anyway, those of us whose fathers did not use the GI bill were born upon their return home--not four years later. We are the generation that got rolled over by the boomers--never to occupy positions of power, never to be a part of an organized generation seeking change. Who did that organizing anyway--who taught them? Anyway, I never thought much of the Beattles. I know there are older hippies out there that defend brilliantly their claim to saving rock and roll, but I don't think they did anything of the sort. They just started something else. Something which led inevitably to Mick Jagger and Jerry what's his face. Not exactly music to my way of thinking.
