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.

Get out those old '60's Rock and Roll posters, drop some acid, and shine this black light around. Mrs. CW has one, and uses it to identify uranium glass at antique shops.
At night such a flashlight helps one see scorpions as they glow a greenish yellow under theblue light. My son who lives in the Phoenix Valley has demonstrated to me this method to find the little devils and then kill them with a blast of heat delivered by a propane torch.
What's uranium glass?

DeleteI use one to find leaks in hydronic heating systems, water and sewer lines after treating with fluorescent dye.
ReplyDeleteMy wife has one to identify Milk Glass.
ReplyDeleteGood for identifying raw gem stones in the wild, too.
ReplyDeleteJust walk around at night with the light on looking for rocks that react?
