When the people fear their government, that is tyranny. When government fears the people, that is freedom.

Amazing Congress, JohnR. ::oh_my:: ::oh_my::👍


Very cool survivor, Dimitri.😎

You can send me your address, and you just may get a surprise sometime, but it probably won't be a Waterville. :D

Thank you for the comments, Bill, Floyd, John, Joe, and the WMSR engineer. I appreciate it.
