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.

Somewhere in the Faroe Islands
Tjørnuvík is the northernmost village on the Faroese island of Streymoy in Sunda Municipality. The 2002 population was 64. Its current church was built in 1937
No power lines but no smoke from chimneys. A road, but (maybe) only one vehicle. Water but no boats. No gas station, no convenience store, no HEB, no Wal-Mart. No fields and no farms.
There is a surfaced road that connects the town to the rest of the island and you can see it at the bottom of the photo and at the top - the cut. It was a fishing village but now the fisherman go out of Signabour or Torshavn. I have encouraged CW to visit the Faroe Islands, but he resists because of the large population of ginger, freckle faced women who are looking for love.
They are viking women, CW, and when they die, they become valkyrie, and haul the worthy (and armed) men who die with valor to the Corpse Hall. None of them bother hanging out near Ivy League campuses in the US...for obvious reasons.

ReplyDeleteWhat do these people do?
Of course there's no HEB. That's not in Texas

DeleteYou make it sound so good, LL! I'll have to call my travel agent.
DeleteAnd yes, the bow tied, Ivy Leaguers have no chance with the ginger haired freckled faced Faroe-ettes.
