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.
Tire technology has drastically improved over the years. I remember several road trips back in late 60s and early 70s where we'd have one or even two tires go bad along the way. Several times we'd get a bubble (smaller than the above, but similar) and caught it before a blow-out. Other times we'd just have a blow-out and screatch to a stop on the shoulder. Last blow-out I can remember is 1983 on my mom's station wagon.
I haven't had a catastrophic failure in decades now. At one point I thought about putting some retro tires on my antique (now sold), but held off because of the above. Thankfully.
Best step way back and shoot it with a .22
ReplyDeleteCan tires get an aneurism.
