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 dad had a couple of beehives in a spruce plantation. One day while tending the hives he felt something on his foot. When he looked down there was a bright green woodpecker hammering away on his boot. On another occasion he was caught short and turned to a tree to tend to business. One of his own bees alighted and stung him right on the end! Cue much hilarity in our household, apart from dad of course.
Had a chipmunk do that once when I was all in camo out turkey hunting.....
