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.
The thing that I loved almost as much as my record collection was my great accumulation of books, 99% of which were just everyday, ordinary paperbacks. Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of them. Most of them were horror and sci-fi. A few Westerns and some classics. We owned a building that use to be three apartments and a little corner grocery store that I converted into a great, big house. The room that was previously a store was the perfect place to keep books and vinyl records and every other sort of junk imaginable. When we moved to a ranch house in the 'burbs back in 2004 a lot of stuff couldn't go with us. Goodwill and the Veterans Thrift Shop ended up with almost more books than they could handle along with 300 - 400 of my beloved 8-tracks..............

ReplyDeleteUnder my definition, no book, 8-track or record can be defined as junk. Rather, it's all treasure!
