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.
As a Christmas present, had a plastic glow in the dark version of Reddy, his lightning bolt section was the glow part. I thought it was pretty cool, first glow in the dark toy i'd seen. Probably a collectors item today of certain value, think mostly because Boston Edison gave them out and my grandad worked in Edison's lab his entire career there. He was awarded many honors be the company and personally from Edison himself. Grand dad had all sorts of experimental electrical artifacts around the house, bout all I remember about that.
A local tavern in Gambier, Ohio, (home of Kenyon College), had an enameled metal outdoor sign of Freddy, which they had scavenged someplace and kept behind the bar. It disappeared a number of years ago when the tavern changed hands.

How do you live better on a $750 monthly electric bill?
ReplyDeleteReddy can only afford One shoe!
DeleteHere in Washington some nitwits want to blow-up all of our Dams. Planning ahead to screw us with higher rates.
ReplyDeleteWe should remember to count our blessings! Without electricity life would be so much more difficult and uncomfortable
