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.
Could never barefoot. Crashed 100 times at least. Good friend could do it every time, tho he had only two toes on one foot due to a mower "incident". (He was a real clutz!) The secret was speed. Minimum was 42 mph which was easy behind my jet boat.
That happens so fast that you don't even have time to close your eyes before hitting the water (and that hurts....)
ReplyDeleteYeah, when I learned to water ski my uncle drove like that, throttle to the wall every time. Tried wearing googles once, ripped them off my face.
