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 youngest daughter has somehow managed to get herself to Rome.
And she just texted me these images from the eternal city, with the words, "SPQR."
I'm just astounded, for some reason, that my littlest one is roaming about like this and seeing such sights.
I know! We just have to enjoy the pictures and go to work like the middle class tax payers that we are. Her day to join the hive will come soon enough.
I hope she keeps looking over her shoulder for "Migrants" and keeps her distance. My daughter and some of her college friends were on a "Geology study" trip to Milan 3 years ago and had to be rescued by some locals from a mob of African men looking for young white women.
Latest scores from the Coliseum : Lions 12, Christians 0. And, Spartacus wins in a split decision....
ReplyDeleteThat don't look like the one in Georgia! ;-)
ReplyDeleteYour daughter is a very good photographer! What wonderful shots!
ReplyDelete(Somehow that isn't much of a surprise.)
Way better than me. Her and her brother are the photographers in the family.
DeleteHaha, that's just what i was going to say, but also that i suspect she gets it from her daddy :)
DeleteAMAZING. You and MRSCW should have smuggled yourselves along. Rome - we who are about to die, salute you.

DeleteWow, great photos! Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteBelieve me, I warned her.
DeleteCongratulations, it looks like you've raised two great children into exceptional adults.
ReplyDeleteI've spent a lot of effort toward that goal. It helped to live in the country and keep them away from most tv.
