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 have one of those, some where. a little beat up and a little grubby from being carried back and forth to work every day for over ten years. and worth ever penny i paid for it. went thru 3 of the cloth/canvass type bags in the two years before i bought the stanley.
years of construction work and commuting gave me some absolutes- a hand carried container is a pain in the ass and must have a shoulder strap that leaves both hands free and the "carry" part is covered. too, it moves the weight of the container very close to the body's centerline.
Stanley stuff got way too expensive.
ReplyDeleteThat thing costs $40 now and does NOT include the thermos!
