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.
Was waiting at the Doctor's last autumn and sitting across from an older woman. She asked me if I knew anyone with a chainsaw so she could have a tree removed. Her husband had passed long ago, and the tree had "taken over the back yard." All of the companies had quoted huge numbers which she could never afford, so I told her I would go over to take a look. It was a massive apple tree! I called a friend who does a ton of smoked meats. He came over with his boys, cut everything down and cleaned it all up for free - he kept the wood for curing and smoking. The tree was over a foot and a half across at the butt (measured three feet off the ground,) and was perfectly sound. He has apple wood for his smoker and for his wood shop. Everyone wins.
