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.
Can't go wrong when you start out with the magnificent Studebaker Avanti!
Somehow I'm beginning to lose hope that I'll ever have one, but I've always lusted for one. Oh well, maybe in the next life (but I'll probably be a cockroach, darn it!)
You and me both. I don't know what it is about an Avanti, but they are just irresistible. You'd need time and a bit of money to keep it running, though.
I've never commented on your blog before. I just wanted to say that I look forward to you Friday Open Road posts every week. Some of those pictures just tug at you, some with nostalgia, some with a wish to go out and see more of the world, and some that I just can't help but relate to. I live in a cabin in the deep woods, myself.
The sailboat calls to me - but I like that Indian canoe too.
ReplyDeleteI'm with LL on both.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, as always, and inspiring - but I think that "Indian" canoe is aluminum, with painted-on birchbark.
ReplyDeleteYes, love these posts. Anyone know where that cliff road is?
ReplyDeleteAlas, it was an unlabeled picture.
