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.
So CW, ya a year older? Tip a cold one, it's on me! The pic with the lightening hitting that column, God didn't like that lizard. The bike on teh side of the road, what kind of tire on the back wheel?
Time for us to start watching out for the bears here in the Ozarks. Our dogs are barking a bunch in the early morning and in the evening. There is a bench down below our house that the bears roam back and forth! HC
A guy I know here has a ranch in the mountains to the east. He says there are as many bears as deer, and some of those bears are quite large. Apparently the bruins kept breaking into his barn and tearing things up. He was told to establish a "guardian bear." This meant putting out ample food about half mile from the barn in question, and soon the biggest, meanest bear in the woods claimed the pile of chow and drove off all the others. It seems it was always the adolescent bears that did the breaking and entering. Once the Boss of the Woods set up shop on the food pile, the littler bears made haste to distance themselves, and the barn raids stopped.
Another fine set of photos! The first pic has many excellent things: a pretty girl, a great dog, a nice Jeep, and fun in the outdoors. Life is good!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday, CW! The weekend is almost here.

ReplyDeleteAbout the third photo from top, what a horrible thing to do to a nice old pick up.
ReplyDeleteOther than that, your usual great Friday Open Road.
Thanks for the post.

Happy B-Day and thanks for your Open Road feature. Always great.
ReplyDeleteHow did this birthday stuff get started? It's in August. But thanks for the early well wishes!
DeleteWTF kind of tire is on that bike parked at the side of the road (#6)?
ReplyDeleteAnd a Metric Bulldog? ?
I've seen that one of the gal in the Bronco someplace before; a classy pair, methinks.
ReplyDeleteAll good ones! Love the three Nevada kids a horse back!
