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.
Used to dive in the winter, in New England; and it was a pleasure to get into the water after crossing the parking lot in my wet suit (before it got wet). Air temp 25 degrees, water temp 45 degrees. Biggest problem with winter diving was snorkeling out to the dive spot and the ice forming on the end of the snorkel.

ReplyDeleteWhen I used to scuba dive, whenever it rained, it was really cool to submerge and avoid the chilly rain and wind.
