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.

Wasn't there a song way back about turtle creek and dingalings? Yep, scary!
ReplyDeleteThey're prehistoric...built to survive.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy that we don't have them in the West. Same with all of the nasty swamp critters that avoid the Rockies and the land West.
Hi CW!!,
ReplyDeleteA dude (the Turtle) just like that one resides in an azure pond in the "BASS PRO SHOP" in Denham Springs Louisiana ,(exit 10 on the I-12 fwy just east of Baton Rouge)... His name is "Fred" and the LSU Ag. dept estimates his age to be about 100 years old!! He gets "Regular Check ups" his BP is normal although I'm sure he would like a "Lady Companion" so far none have shown up!! I'd post a foto of "Fred" if there was some way to get it to you on this site!! Post me and I'll send you several!! "SNAPPERS!!!!" I have caught a few when "Fishin!!"...I always with Snappers and any other turtle.... unhook them and send them on their merry way!!!! Besides being cool people... I tell other fishermen... they are the "Garbage Collectors" that keep our streams and lakes "CLEAN!!!!"
