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.
I got caught in something like that once around the mouth of the Mississippi in a 16 ft fishing boat. It nearly sunk us in the shear volume on rain. We could not bail fast enough. Ended up trying to get the boat on plain and then pulled the drain plug. Couldn't see where we were going and nearly hit another boat. Fun times...
That's a serious commitment to hydration.
ReplyDeleteSudden, intense hydration.
