Wake Up

As I wipe the dust of the console to write this I realize just how quiet it has been.

Not so any more. After the storm they named Nemo (really?) we had our little gathering of Clubs and got to schmooze with all our friends we haven't seen. We met the new director of Owl's Head Transportation Museum, who in all intents and purposes is a car guy, and hopefully a new era in the Museums history is getting ready to set itself in a forward direction.

A few legislative things have been mentioned as to the Anti-Ethanol bills that some politicians who have decided to finally grow a set of balls, have set forth. Anything that has to do with getting rid of Ethanol is a good thing in my opinion.

On the other hand we need to keep an eye on some of this because as of Wednesday there is in print a bill that would require all vehicles registered as ANTIQUES to be STATE SAFETY INSPECTED. Now don't get your undies all balled into a bunch so tight it changes your hair color. I and a representative of the MCAA have set a meeting with the sponsor of the bill to find out what has inspired him to piss on every ones shoes.

I really hate to say I told you so but the use of the Antique plate as a way to circumvent the rules of state inspection may be over. The antique car and truck hobby has had its chance to police itself and chose to ignore the warnings. So before the crowd decides to hang this politician by the short hairs we need to get his thoughts out so a direction can be sorted out.
