| A Message from the
President |
I
returned from my sailing adventure on December 15 just in time for
Sharon’s birthday but not soon enough to attend the join CTOH/VTOH
Christmas party. It was held at Ellen’s Café in Old Town
Spring and everyone I have talked to said it was a great
party.
Our
next monthly meeting will be held on January 15 (the third Sunday
comes early this month). Plan to join us and bring ideas of
what activities you would like to see CTOH schedule in 2006.
A
small group of CTOH members meet every Saturday morning at 8:00 am
at the Skeeter’s located Weslayan and Bissonnet – stop by and join
us for breakfast and coffee.
I hope
all of you had a merry Christmas and happy New Year.

SEMA’s Street Rod/Custom Vehicle bill on the move in
2006
Colorado, Florida, New Hampshire, Virginia and Wyoming are among
the states whose legislators are considering introducing street rod
and custom vehicle titling and registration legislation in
2006. The SEMA model bill was written to counter outdated and
convoluted registration laws and provide unique titling
classifications for these popular vehicles.
The bill provides for special license
plates and exempts rods and customs from periodic inspections and
emissions tests. It also provides for the use of non-original
materials and requires an initial safety inspection based on
criteria established in part by the local hobbyist community.
Under the legislation, replica vehicles are assigned the same
model-year designation as the production vehicle they most closely
resemble. |

The Pope took a couple
of days off to visit the mountains for some sight-seeing.
He
was cruising along the campground in the Popemobile when there was a
frantic commotion just at the edge of the woods. A helpless
Democrat, wearing sandals, shorts, a "Save the Whales" / "Bush Lied"
T-shirt and a tree hugger hat, was screaming while struggling
frantically, thrashing around trying to free himself from the jaws
of a 10 foot grizzly.
As the Pope watched horrified, a group
of Republican loggers came racing up. One quickly fired a .44 magnum
into the bear's chest. The other two reached up and pulled the
bleeding semiconscious Democrat from the bear's grasp. Then using
long clubs, the three loggers finished off the bear and two of them
threw it onto the bed of their truck while the other tenderly placed
the injured Democrat in the back
seat.
As they prepared to leave, the Pope summoned
them to come over. "I give you my blessing for your brave actions!" he
told them. "I heard there was a bitter hatred between Republican
loggers and Democratic environmental activists but now I've seen
with my own eyes that this is not true."
As the Pope drove off, one of the loggers
asked his buddies "Who was that guy?"
"It was the Pope", another replied, "He's in
direct contact with God and has access to all God's
wisdom."
"Well," the logger said, "he may have access to all God's
wisdom but he sure doesn't know anything about bear
hunting!
By the way, is the bait holding up,
or do we need to go back to town and snatch another
one?" | |
