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.
#7 looks like a great adventure in a sit-on-top. Until a rowdy moose or bear decides you are "fun size." #20 brings to mind that doing stunts on motorcycles miles from nowhere is a sure ticket to a short but interesting life.
Nice collection. I always come here for the sense of serenity I receive from your pics. Re; that cafe pic with the red porsche.....did we really improve our lives when we built the interstate to bypass those quaint businesses? The faster we go, the further we get from our "grounding".
I agree with you about not improving our lives with the Interstate highway system. And you probably already know this but when President Eisenhower enacted the building of the "superhighway" system it was designed to replicate the German Autobahn in order to move military equipment and supplies all over our nation fast and efficiently.
