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.

re Is The "Climate" Agenda Poised For A Comeback In The U.S.?

Of course it is, the opportunities for graft, increasing taxes, and reducing the freedom of ordinary Americans are irresistable.

A couple of videos. No politics.

I Dressed Like a 1950s Man for a Week, Here's What Happened

I have to admit the guy looked pretty sharp with a shaved face and that wide brimmed fedora. And the clothes looked really good coming from thrift stores. I hate to think how long he rummaged through the inventory to find the right clothes. That alone would have frustrated me and caused me to abandon the project.

And

If You're Over 70 and Can Still Do These 7 Things, Your Body Is Aging Exceptionally Well

1. Brisk Walking Speed (2:10 - 7:30): Assesses overall body health and correlates significantly with life expectancy.
2. Grip Strength (7:30 - 12:40): A powerful indicator of whole-body muscle strength and nervous system integrity.
3. Chair Stands (12:40 - 18:00): Measures leg power, crucial for daily independence and mobility.
4. 10-Second One-Leg Balance (18:00 - 23:10): Evaluates balance systems, including the inner ear and brain, linked to mortality risk.
5. Stair Climbing (23:10 - 28:20): Tests cardiorespiratory fitness; the ability to talk while climbing indicates a strong "engine."
6. Walking While Talking (28:20 - 33:30): Measures brain "reserve" and multi-tasking ability, which can signal cognitive health.
7. Floor-to-Stand Test (33:30 - 38:30): The ultimate test of strength, power, and coordination, essential for recovery after potential falls.
