And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
That happened to me and a buddy in 1962. We were both 12 an had walked out to the target ship in Cape Cod Bay,,,, at Low Tide! We fooled around for about a hour but noticed the ice was moving! Lucky it was only about 1 1/2 miles to get 2 us two very scared boys back to the beach! Never told our parents or any one else for that matter.
"Not good" is an accurate statement... I wonder how it all turned out?

ReplyDeleteNever forget. Ice is just water in deceptive mode.
