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'm always fascinated by the color schemes on old cars. I worked in a new car dealership who's owner collected old cars and trucks. He had them delivered to a private garage area for inspection. One day a 1904 Cadillac was dropped off. It was light lemon yellow with lime green wheels and trim. He verified to us it was an original color. The oldest car was an 1898 Columbia electric vehicle. Had giant motors on the rear wheels and the batteries were underneath. Looked like a stagecoach, black with red velour trim. Best part was when he loaded the office girls in them and cruised around the lot with them squealing and blowing the squeeze bulb horn.
when people took pride in their work and things were built to last
