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.
So, I went to school at the University of Colorado in Boulder, CO, and I lived in the dorms for all 4 years. One of the things about living in the dorms was parking. I never wanted one of the last parking spots, way back on the "Back 40".
Anyway, I never met him, and I'll presume it was a "him", who on move-in day of my freshman year parked his van with a Florida license plate in the parking spot third in line to being closest to the building. And he kept it there all year. It never moved....not once.
And he had a surf board on a rack on top.
Why someone would bring a surf board to Colorado is more than I know. Maybe this same guy opened up that surf shop in NYC. I wish him well, but it looks like an incredibly niche market.
Its schtick. Its a come on. Its not a surf shop. Its probably a coffee place or bar for the hippsters. The debonair Manhattanites use all that is real as adornments in their droll lives. Like a Saguaro in a New York flat, the real become props to the artificial.
New York City? What are going to do surf the East River? If so I hope the store sells Kevlar wet suits with an added anti-bacterial coating.
ReplyDeletethat store was originally at Perry and Waverly Place (they had coffee), now at Crosby.
