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.

Modern Fun. Wish they had this when I was young enough to do it.
I sailed Hobie Cats in the 80's. The new in thing at the time was sail boards. I had friends sailing them. I would sneak up windward and take their air. Splashes would occur. A good time was had by all...
That isn't the only cool thing that happened after we were past the right age. I've kinda resented the kids who had Big Wheels. They looked like a hoot.. At least until plastic front tire wore out. But getting air with a frikken Kite!? You bet, that would have been great.
You'd have been comfortable in the bikini ?? /sarc

ReplyDeleteGreat way to get your arms yanked out of their sockets on too-windy a day.
