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.
Autumn for sure. Low 80's for the first time in months. Actually felt cold this morning mowing the pasture.
My first comment was a bit too,er, nuanced...Martin made it a bit clearer: Das Matterhorn, not die Matterhorn. I have a strong pedantic streak in me, I guess. I am not necessarily the last word on German language issues because I don't speak German I speak Hessisch. Martin knows what I mean. I hope to run into you up here at some point. I look for the USAF sticker in the window to see if it may be your pick-up truck. I don't eat at Therese's very often, so I won't run into you there. You ever make it up Volcano way? BTW, my eldest is stationed at Holloman AFB.

If you ever see an old guy driving around in a white Mercedes 280sl that looks like this: https://www.mercedes-benz.com/en/ats_vehicle/mercedes-benz-230-sl-w113-2/
Nope. Sorry. It is das Matterhorn.

Greetings back at you. Today, for the first time this summer, I sensed Fall in the air. How about up at Pine Grove?

We'll have to do a meat up sometime, maybe at Giannini's.

Now that's a Mercedes I could drive. I like clean tires and wheel wells. I'll keep an eye out next time I'm rolling through town.
DeleteJa, das ist das Matterhorn.

Ack! My daughter pointed out the potential mistake, but wasn't 100% sure. Thanks for the clarification.
