The Day the Bridgeport Came to Live With Me

The lengths we go to to feed a cobbling obsession. Dale and Bob brought the Bridgeport down from the northside of Detroit and David and Dan rigged and offloaded it.

Snow- NW Ohio Style

Nothing messes up an old barn with a northern exposure more than a Northeast howling wind and four or five inches of snow in NW Ohio. Five foot drifts and no snow at all around 'em... Gimme the UP any day...

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.-- Mike Vanderboegh, The Lessons of Mumbai:Death Cults, the "Socialism of Imbeciles" and Refusing to Submit, 1 December 2008
