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?

Getting prepared for league night? Kick out the kids, clean the ashtrays, restock the beer cooler, straighten up the chairs, open the doors and let the fun begin.
They're tying strings onto the pins now. At our bowling lanes on the ten pin side they removed the old pin handling equipment and put in the new system; strings on the top of the pins, lift them up and set them down. When the old guy that knew how to maintain the old machinery retires, not much choice. Even though, no one likes it.

ReplyDeletein high school, you'd be an also-ran if you didn't cop a pair of multi-color rental bowling shoes to wear to classes.
