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.

Massive snow storm hit Southern Norway. Global warming strikes again!
I saw a report yesterday with pics of one of the main highways in Norway with hundreds of stranded cars. The report stated that the Army was called out to rescue the stranded motorists with their vehicles left in situ until the road could be cleared of snow.
When we lived in New Hampshire we received over 17 feet of snow one year. I would come home from working late second shift after the plow truck had come through and be forced to dig for 4 hours to get my car into my own driveway. I would live there again if I could.
Back in the 1070's when I spent 10 very L-O-N-G winters in Minnesota, we'd have snowstorms similar to this. And after I pulled my head out of my keester, I moved south and never looked back.
It's that global warming.
ReplyDeleteThe first sequence of the tractor ploughing is a giggle. As he ploughs, the wind blows the snow back where it came from!
ReplyDeleteAww. It's winter. Sometimes it snows, a lot.

ReplyDeleteThat's 1970's and not right after Charle Martel kicked the "moose limbs" out of France!
