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.

The House that Golf Built

Photos of Tiger Woods' home in the islands. Ain't talent, discipline, and determination a wonderful combination for fulfilling one's dreams, whatever they may be? For Tiger, clearly, one part of the dream is comfortable shelter. This pad has nothing in common with Maggie's Farm except that both have indoor plumbing.

gorgeous place--hardly a 90-angle anywhere. heck, it feels like a golf course. esp that hanging stairway. excellence pays off, don't it?

Ah, I've always loved turn-the-century Victorians like this one.

Very few Victorians along beaches for some reason. Probably 'cause they float so well--
:-(

Nice digs ...just wish I could be a better putter.

After yesterday, I think I'll keep my six iron and my putter and throw all my other clubs in the nearest water hazard...

We do have a hot tub, though. And a sofa with pillows. And through the trees - we have a slight view of the water. And there the similarity ends.

Of course, so does the local drunk, Sam Gooch.

Tiger woods posted the pictures of this house in NewPort Coast California to deter intruders from his real location in Orlando.
He was getting so many death treats, and packages sent to his home in florida, he and friends who the house really belong too decided to pull a prank, It worked. Tiger and friends work together to protect his privacy.
Tiger is a genious, this house belongs to an ex NFL Los Angeles Ram Running Back, who is also an Architect.
Ha ha ha ha
Who knows Tiger, plays golf with tiger
