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.
In the Ballard area of Seattle is a brewery and restaurant called Maritime Pacific. They have a pirate theme with artwork, flags, etc. The owner has a very nice captain's outfit he wears on Pirate Day. Now that they may have only very limited seating inside (they have a good sized area outside fortunately) the painting of a fictional sea charted land is completely visible. I have been going there for years and never saw much of it in detail what with all the tables on it. Pretty interesting stuff with bays, coves, shoals, reefs, etc named after employees.
CW, those of us that frequent your blog should as a team effort develop a Daily Timewaster pirate flag to muster under and we can go forth under it's banner and Letters of Marquis and rape and pillage and pillage some more and then relax drinking rum and beers...
Hi C.W....., AAAAARRRRGGGGHHH Matie!! Thanks for the "Flags!!" The ones flown by Richard Worley and Edward England seem to get a lot of "Press!!"... The "Jolly Roger" Fishing Pier at Topsail Island, NC sports the Jack Rackam flag and it's ironic as Edward "Blackbeard" Teach hung out in the area!!! I have a few "Jolly Roger"Yacht Pennants" that I have found and there's more to the tale!! On my skydives I trail my "Jolly Roger" on a 4' lanyard with a small fishing weight for ballast when I am under Canopy to landing!!! The uninitiated think I am "Morbid!!" However, My reply is that "SKYDIVING" is a MOST DANGEROUS Sport!! Death lurks on every jump unless you do something positive to thwart your demise!! Thus I fly the flag to remind everyone.... "Be careful out there, 'hunt for trouble, don't let it find you!!" Audentes, Fortuna, Ivat!!!!, skybill

ReplyDeleteThe Maritime Pacific restaurant is renowned for its Battered & Deep Fried Bacon. Truly wonderful!
