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.

Great Horned Owl takes a cold swim in Lake Michigan
Apparently two peregrine falcons harassed this owl to the extent that it plunged into the water to get away. This strategy worked, as the falcons left, leaving the owl the job of swimming to shore.
Steve Spitzer, who filmed the bird’s swim, told WGNtv that the owl strolled up on the beach once he was done and flew away without incident.
