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?

Used to build power lines in and around open pit copper mines. On the days that the mine would blast you would feel the shock wave underfoot way before the air shock wave. Especially fun when you were in your tools standing on a pole.

DeleteOpening a glass shop there would be a good economic opportunity.
ReplyDeleteMakes sense to get the clear Aluminum they've been working for, as a plate glass replacement.
