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.
My uncle had a 36" coffee table made from a 4" slab of one of these. It was old, as in 30's/40's. Wonder how many years in prison for making one these days?
I live an hour away from PF/PD and have gone a couple times. It's very austere and interesting. There was a ton of amateur scavenging starting over a century ago and running through the start of the preservation efforts. A lot of tabletops were produced and sold to people in the east. The petrified logs laying around on the ground are fractured as if they were sawn. I don't recall seeing any as colorful as the ones in the snaps.
Petrified forest?
ReplyDeleteso the ones back then had saws? Looks that way. maybe they weren't as backward as we have been led to believe.

ReplyDeletePetrified wood that has obviously been sawn raises some serious questions.

My wife was amazed with the PF. She really flipped out when I splash some water on a few.
