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.
We had similar luck many years ago, when we were on vacation in Oklahoma City when Hurricane Dolly visited our town. The big mesquite tree in front yard was not blown down, but tilted dangerously which had a large branch. This branch came very close to resting on my truck cab, but passed behind it and not touching the metal bed tool box behind the window. No damage, I was even able to pull forward to remove the vehicle before I had to cut the branch off.
Had a tree branch come down on the bed of my pick up. Would have crushed it but the branch fell across a stack of firewood at just the right height. Put just a small kink in the bed in one spot.
Bad advice. He just burned up 5 years worth of good luck.
ReplyDeleteJust a hunch but I'll bet that car arrived after the tree.
ReplyDeleteNice picture though.
If it's real, he just missed replacing his beater.
