"Nay, it [this constitution of government] must perish, if there be not that vital spirit in the people, which alone can nourish, sustain, and direct all its movements. It is in vain, that statesmen shall form plans of government, in which the beauty and harmony of a republic shall be embodied in visible order, shall be built up on solid substructions, and adorned by every useful ornament, if the inhabitants suffer the silent power of time to dilapidate its walls, or crumble its massy supporters into dust; if the assaults from without are never resisted, and the rottenness and mining from within are never guarded against. Who can preserve the rights and liberties of the people, when they shall be abandoned by themselves? Who shall keep watch in the temple, when the watchmen sleep at their posts? Who shall call upon the people to redeem their possessions, and revive the republic, when their own hands have deliberately and corruptly surrendered them to the oppressor, and have built the prisons, or dug the graves of their own friends?
– Justice Joseph Story, "Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States," Volume II, Chapter XIII: Mode of Passing Laws, Sections 900-901, pp. 364 (1833)

Nice video of a Michigan spring, but it didn’t capture the full effect of snow AND wind!
If any bees ventured out here today, they got blown over to the next County, or into Canada….

Man that's one heck of a place ya got there! You're gonna have to have us all come up for a fishing fest! Sure. The best fishing of the year was about 3 weeks ago, when steelhead, walleye and black horse suckers are all up spawning. The walleye are out of season so they have to be released, but fun to catch. The suckers in the spring actually eat pretty good if you score the meat every 1/4 inch down to the skin. Or can them. Steelhead are great fun to catch and eat pretty good too. Have JP bring up some blackened seasoning, cause I think they eat the best blackened. Also bring all the down and/or woolen clothes you have. It is still dang cold out then. The fall, mid September to mid October is when the salmon run and that is fun too, but they are dying and are really concerned with getting their one piece of tail in their lifetime, rather than fighting the other person at the end of the line. I am getting soft hearted and hardly fish them anymore, not wanting to disturb their last chance at some fun. I was more thinking of shaving my head and coming to FL and call myself Scott's older, fatter brother and helping with some swarms and cut-outs. Thx. |

This might be one of those years when you can go out and find black phallic symbols sticking out of the snow. |
