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.
I lost a trailer tire one day in the Oregon hills. Didn't realize the starboard-side wheel had come off until I rounded an uphill left-hand curve and spotted it gaining on me. I stopped, and the wheel rolled past the left side of the truck, spun around, and dropped right in front of the bumper. Good thing the wife was there as a witness. Swapped a couple of lug nuts from the left side, remounted the wheel, and continued to the lake. Yes, weird shit happens to me on occasion.
tire came in 1st place!
