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.
Bet those Coors are gonna taste great, vintage looks pre east of the Rockies dales exclusion, guy I knew made runs regularly up into Colorado cause he loved his Coors, would fill his bed and sell every can he could bring back. I think it tasted better just because we could not buy it locally, it was a fun ride and always beautiful scenery up into the mountains anyways, and we never went thirsty coming back.
Went with a guy back to the Indy 500 time trials in the late 70's who took along a few cases of Coors beer. We were stopped by a flagman for road construction. We motioned the flagman to come over to the car and handed him a six pack of Coors. I'll never forget the shocked look on his face.
In the 70's it was still illegal in Oregon. We'd pool our money (not much) and pack the trunk of one of the cars with Coors from Idaho. Figured our gas money enough to make it to Salem, after that, we were moderately wealthy. We did that for as long as it was banned. Some really great road trips. Those college girls thought a lot of us. :-)
Looks like he earned every drop of it.
ReplyDeleteMight as well drink Beer beer. Coors. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteyeah, as 'last resort', Coors, Bud, Schlitz
DeleteAfter 177 years, the "Beer that Made Milwaukee Famous" is no longer produced.

ReplyDeleteIn the 60's Coors was unique and not available in Oregon so kids thought unique.
ReplyDeleteI tried a six pack when the eastern embargo was still on, early 70's. It weren't nothing special then and it ain't now.
