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 2003 Honda Element had fold down seats that were supposed to be used as camping beds (it was an AWD after all). But I found that when we were in Florida and my mother began to have problems, I could fold the right hand seat down and leave the rear seat at a 45 degree angle, and it became a ambulance gurney. All the way back to Massachusetts.

ReplyDeleteMy buddy in HS had one. He and his girlfriend really seemed to like it.

ReplyDeleteI gues you once could drive into Disneyland

ReplyDeleteI remember in 1963 we got our first car with seatbelts, it was a new Oldsmobile.

ReplyDeleteMy mother briefly owned a 66 rambler ambassador. If I remember correctly, those seats were the only cool thing about the car!
