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.

I once had a cell phone that big, but it never flew itself into my hand.
Me too. Got my first “bolt in” phone in the early ‘80’s and the brick a few years later. The Tac series flip phones were cool. Motorola in Phoenix was a customer of mine and when I used to visit they had a display of StarTac’s in the lobby i used to lust for. When I finally got one I was disappointed as the batteries kept falling out.
Yes, my Motorola bag phone was my first phone. It was very dependable. I liked it so much I bought one for my Dad. He loved it as he traveled a lot in retirement.

ReplyDeleteI still miss my StarTac phone. It was the best.
DeleteMy first was a "bag" phone. Much bigger, but it never failed.
