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.

I never thought I'd see it

Thought I'd never see the day when our Comrade Sipp did Politics! Who knew that he was a closet pundit?

I happen to drive over the Sippican River on the way to Cape Cod. Here's Leonard's Pond on the East Branch of the Sippican River:

Here's Brigg's Marsh (looks good for ducks) near the outlet of the Sippican River. There is nothing on earth as lovely as a brackish salt marsh (except for a pretty girl and, in duck season, it's a toss-up):

BD,

How many times do we have to remind you; it's guns and ducks during the day, and pretty girls at night! You don't have to choose, (unless she wants to hunt ducks.)

A cautionary tale:
When my friend, Robert, hunts with his pretty wife, she usually fills her bag first, because he's busy thinking about . . . stuff.

BD,

Can you move the book thread up? I'm obsessed. You can put a babe with big boobs reading a book to illustrate it. :)

That thread is keeping me up at night. I love it.

Can't. But I can do a reminder tomorrow.

The friggin' fix is in!

And what's more you use it to post a couple more friggin' Cape friggin' Cod photos from the endless collection of "Ooooo, here's some mindless flat landscapes I forgot to scrape off my memory card" from my $14.99 digital camera!

I swear I'm gonna come back there to the farm and degauss the whole pack of you with an industrial strength electromagnet!

BD, your picture of Leonard's pond is just beautiful. It made my day!

Whence the photos dear farmer? Has't thou practiced the art of imaging so well since your last self-professed bad snaps? Compensate talent at least with credit, lest on our part an error is assumed.
