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.

Santa works in mysterious ways
When you reach a certain age, the type of gifts Santa brings tend to change.
This year, the 19 year old found a nice new tire under the tree for her car, Patty. Both of them are quite happy about it.
She's paying for the car and it's upkeep herself. This fall she had the coin for a couple of fresh tires, and this Christmas tire was to replace the one left that was getting a bit bald. She is good to go now, tire wise, for the new year.
Let's get a few elements straight here: this is not a Barbie car, I bought this car for my Mom in '93 when my Dad died. She drove it until she passed away last spring. Mom's name was Patricia and the girl here named the car Patty. I won't even go into the hard Swedish rug merchant bargaining that I endured to sell this car. Barbie car? The original owner was an ex Army nurse and the present owner is the daughter of a Swedish gunfighter.
Tires for the Barbie car?
ReplyDeleteExactly. Even Barbie has to have decent tires on her ride.
DeleteSafety equipment is good! She looks happy good job Santa I hope the other three just got left in an accessible place by St.Nick.

DeleteReminds me of when my boys were young. Tires, engine parts, motorcycle parts, tools and cases of oil - all scattered around the tree!
