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.
My sixteen year-old grandson is into buying and selling sports cards, which, of course, don't come with bubble gum any more. He does it on his own and as an agent for an adult collector. He's making a bunch of money. I see a great career in day trading. Skills seem similar.
Back in the late '70's, I had to deliver a tank load of a product to make chewing gum to a plant in the Scranton PA. area. There were pallets of Topps baseball cards next to where I was delivering. Uncut cards, all in one sheet, approximately 4'x4'. Never took any. Boy, was I dumb.
Worst gum ever. Usually hard as a rock.

DeleteFrom a lost time.

ReplyDeleteTaking a huge chunk of flesh out of the roof of my mouth….
