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.
Back in the day, I found myself on and around the Shetland Islands
Lerwick was basically a large fishing and offshore base with two bars
It's a cold and windy place. folks used to say "there is a woman behind every tree but there are no trees". However, I guy brought his wife to keep him company during the winter season. He planted a tree and built a 2 mtr high wooded fence around the tree. The tree never grew higher than 2 mtr due to the wind...
But how did the woman do on the windy islands? I'd think you would either get used to the wind and not even hear it anymore, or you would go mad as a hatter.
Great pic! Needs a tune.
