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.

Papa had two hard tops one white and one black, he owned a couple of bowling lanes in Detroit Log Cabin Lanes and Motor City Lodge where I'd set pins in the summer when I came up from Florida. Grams didn't drive, she wore minks flashed her diamonds and played the queen, the cars were both his.
Papa; "You know why I have two Lincolns B____? I drive the white one when I feel like an angel and the black one when I feel like the devil!"
First time I heard Silver Thunderbird I thought of that old man and his Lincolns, he was "the man with the plan and the pocket comb" and more of a father to me than my old man ever was.
