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.
One of my earliest memories! An A&W Drive-In and my first root beer float, delivered to and placed on a tray hung on the window of the families Oldsmobile.
I remember 10 c for small mug, 25 c for large. Felt like a grown up first time they bought me a big one.

ReplyDeleteYeap, and "baby" root beers were free.
ReplyDeleteA dollar was a small fortune back then.
ReplyDeleteIf you seen a penny on the ground you picked it up. Not anymore.
DeleteI’m old and remember the small mug was a nickel and the large was a dime, unless my wife or I gave it away we have a baby mug around here somewhere
