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.
The Michigan season started the last Saturday in April. This was the 25th year my boys and a few of my brothers and I have celebrated "Openers," as we say. Fishing, til last Sunday, the 17th, had been pretty good, if you were in the right place at the right time. We were a couple of times. Then the rains started Sunday night, and by Tuesday morning, our little crick, along with the mainstream and south branch of the AuSable in northern Michigan were blown out. We'll see what next weekend brings.
