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.
If I was running shine, I'd have an old pickup that looked like it could barely run, but underneath the hood would be a monster engine. Interesting you bring up shine. I just yesterday bought a jar of Ole Smoky Shine from my local runner, BevMo . I'll be sipping on that for awhile.
I've only had moonshine once, from a mason jar that had been filled in Kentucky. According to my friend who offered it, the maker was using a third-generation copper still and recipes. All I knew was that it tasted too damn good to have around in any quantity - and I don't even really drink spirits, only on very rare occasions. I was shocked how good it tasted.
Wife and I were cruising in your area a few years ago. We went west from Red Bluff, headed toward Fortuna. Somewhere out there, we came across a shoe tree. Lucky, I had an old pair of shoes that I was looking for a dumpster to dispose of them in. We live in North Maine, and travel to Vegas every year, and then from there, we explore. Nice country you live in. Roads aren't very straight, though.............
That's Highway 36, and it's very winding indeed. I hope you had the chance to check out Redwood N.P., or even Lassen. Now that I'm living in Redding, I can see two - count 'em, two - big Cascade volcanos from my house. I'm actually hoping for an eruption, but Mrs. CW says if that happens, she's leaving as fast as she can whether I do or not. Women live longer than men for a reason.
Nope. That's for a Northwest, back east into Idaho, trip. We went south from Fortuna, thru The Avenue of the Giants, stopped to drive thru the big tree, and headed back to the Central Valley for the night. Got a chuckle in Alton when we stopped at a C store. This big old Buick rolled in with a bug deflector like you'd see on a semi that said "Humboldt Honeys". Three fat bottom girls jumped out, just as proud as peaches LOL.
Pretty country, but....Secondary roads like this would scratch up your paint job. You runnin' 'shine or sumthin?

DeleteFast Orange car just means you can stay longer to watch and still get away.

Beautiful country on the West side.
ReplyDeleteYou can beat a volcano with that street monster. It's actually magma orange. I'm sure that the lava would show some respect on that account.
