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 was pretty little back then but i remember the parents and friends talking about buying a franchise, 10 grand set you up, all cash business, payoff in a decent location was a few years and its all gravy from there. Laconia NH in fact, all summer you see a constant line up to the order window, great location, what with the lakes system and vacationers. ca not imagine how much money they have made in approx 60 years that dairy queen has operated. all cash too, think of what you could skim off and keep tax free in that time. would not need much just steady every day, each week go buy bullion silver and gold with it. couple ounces gold, bags of silver coinage, be a handsome sum even in a decade. then you sell the joint for how many times the original franchise price?
I've actually been to this Dairy Queen located in Iowa City, Iowa on Riverside Drive. It was completely destroyed in a 2006 tornado and has been rebuilt to look the same. https://www.google.com/maps/@41.6530115,-91.5404323,3a,29.9y,74.14h,89.37t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sujVeyR__s8C4CS5GKzdhPQ!2e0!5s20191101T000000!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu
I was desperately in love with the girl who handed that cone out the window at the local DQ. What a sweet thing and just flat out lovely. Asked her out. She said no.

In the 1950s the local DQ served ice cream and we went there a lot.
ReplyDeleteThen they switched to ice milk and we didn't.
