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.
Did that myself once, but worse as the stones were used as a base to a firepit and blew the entire fire straight up into the air and I stood in awe as the debris fell around me.
He won't do that again. I saw a fire consume a newly framed up house and the bed of coals above the relatively new concrete caused explosions that looked like land mines going off every few seconds. The debris and coals went yards into the air and were quite loud.
My son damn near had an eye knocked when a stone from our lake was placed around the fire pit and exploded. Only a small cut thank god. Quarter inch higher and it would've struck his eye. The shards from that rock were almost like glass
Southside Tony is absolutely correct. Never use a a stone from any body of water (sea, lake, river, etc.) because it will explode like a landmine. Always use rocks from a high and dry place ... if you cannot afford a frying pan.
Forest fires in Idaho have caused boulders to explode, but not until they cool down rapidly at nightfall. I've seen it, sounds and looks similar to lightning striking.
Now they have a flat cooking surface
ReplyDeleteHope he brought more food…
