"Mackey was pretty much the textbook definition of a Baby Boomer' hippie,' although the Austin Texas sub-variant." <-- thanks for this helpful identifier, James! As NH transplants in TX ... we never quite came up with this one, ourselves. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Lotsa funny questions and ideas in this piece!! Good points and proud to say i swore off WF before amazon swallowed it whole... tho it was a long process over the past nearly 3 decades down here. Met a family farmer at a local farmers mkt up in NW TX who said they were NON-certified organic... which i loved! Perfect! Supported them until we (thankfully!) left that area.

We very much miss our smart and funny NH people... and their/our yank-ified views... so different down here with the sub-variants among the uuuhhhh... cheeto-heads. HA!! :D

However, freezing my butt 10 mos a year... and getting chewed by black flies and mosquitos the other two months ... living for those occasional sunny, warm days... not worth it. Ya cahn't get theah from here, y'all... tho maybe y'all could try coming down here... brighten up the place as dour New Englanders?? :D
