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.

There are really only three things to learn in skiing: how to put on your skis, how to slide downhill, and how to walk along the hospital corridor. - Lord Mancroft
You have to admire skiers that have the skills and nerve to do this type of stuff all the time. I skied the lip at Tuckerman's ONCE in '75, I was young & confident, but I still about shit my pants coming down and was sore for days. Never tried anything like that again. Although a few years later I did marry a Scottish girl, that was pretty dangerous.

ReplyDeleteUntil he grew up at about age 25 my oldest son was a skier who could and did ski stuff like that.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't look and eventually refused to go skiing with him.
He's 34 now with a kid of his own and we can ski together again, thank God.
