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.

Satellite Jumping Shoes-Atomic Space Age Spring Shoes 1960’s.
I actually had these exact shoes when I was a kid. They were ankle snappers.
We had em too. They'd bottom out on the concrete driveway and you'd go skidding. Bouncing and sliding down the driveway with a set of clackers in one hand and a lawn dart in the other, jump on the stingray and do a wheelie down the skreet with a mouthful of penny candy and a wrist rocket in the back pocket. southwest Florida 1966.

ReplyDeleteAlas, I never got past the pogo stick stage.
ReplyDeleteWe had'em too, but they were slightly different - ours had a plastic toe cap and they were called Moon Boots. Yes, they were ankle busters.
ReplyDeleteI wanted them - alas, my parents thought otherwise
