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.

The Challenger Club driving through Redding on a winter night
I had a rear wheel drive rental on a business trip to Toronto one winter and the first night a blizzard came through. The next morning on the way to the work site the light turns green and I do a slow-speed power slide through the intersection. Half way through I realize there's a RCMP squad car on the other side of the street, the guy's just looking at me, didn't do a thing.
I was in the San Fran. Argonaut Hotel about 6 years ago when a Challenger Club of about 15 cars blocked off the Fisherman's Wharf street and took turns doing donuts. Lots of fun but that wouldn't fly in a lot of the country.
donuts in the frozen parking lot after a saturday night high school wrestling match or basketbal game were a specialty of a particular friend's father.
