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.
That's a quality concise report, right there - thanks. I just know that if I was there, I'd be mesmerized. Like the feeling you get looking at a campfire in a warm coat and comfy chair, except x1000.
The thing that got me was how they kept bouncing back and forth between units.
"maximum height of 15 meters or 49 feet" followed by (previously) "fountains reached the heights of a five story building".
Whut? How tall is a "story" anyway? Isn't one story about 10 feet, so that a five story building is 50 feet? Isn't 49 feet about 50 feet?
Then bouncing back and forth between meters and yards. A meter is about 1.1 yard and when you consider the precision of their measurements it's probably not worth adding the decimal place.
Some of my brothers ashes were placed at the top by a tree that survived the last eruption. I joked to my kids that's your Uncle Ben's doing when it went off last time.
