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.
Back in the 60s those motels were pretty much all alike and never stayed in one with bed bugs. Those came with the "refugees." But it was nice to get off the road and turn on the air or heat.
I read somewhere that you cannot buy a neon sign, only rent from the manufacturer, which meant when you stopped paying they would come and take back the glass.
Was in the sign business for 50 yrs in Tennessee ( custom wood, stone and metal; no electrical until led lighting came along.) Never heard of that because in Tn. the sign becomes real property by law. There were maintance leases of course but no-one wanted these things and all the big shops had tons of these on the back lot. Not much to salvage and the only glass was the neon which wasn't worth the effort. Of course collectors still salvage and restore some. Bubbarust
Maybe one short night. Armed, of course.
