Hartford Auto Museum. To bad it's not in Kenosha, but the city/county
doesn't want to do anything but give a token showing."

Ironically it took almost a act of Congress to get a Transportation Museum 
in Kenosha, even with it's extremely rich automotive history. But watch the 
pork fly for a Kenosha Civil War museum. Not to take away anything away from 
Wisconsin's civil war contributions, but to me it seems like putting a Enron 
museum in Houston. Or a Chevrolet museum in New Orleans. Or a casino and 
topless bar museum in Salt Lake. Hmmm....not a bad idea, when is the next 
flight out, I got a roll of nickles.

But the Kenosha civil war museum had a massive budget that dwarfed the 
transportation museum budget if I recall, maybe some of ya'll who live up 
that way can comment on the numbers. Here is a link to it:

One more thing before I go, as I mentioned this on the baadassgremlin group. 
Please be safe this Memorial day weekend, and please remember what this 
weekend is all about: those Veterans who have proudly served this great 
nation in the past, present, (including Frank, Steve, Hal and other Vets on 
here) and those in the future. God Bless Our Vets.

(yes that is a Airborne flag; one fellow I sent that to in Iraq printed it 
and has it in his tank he told me, not sure if the tank is AMC powered)

This is my 71 SC/360 in the Houston 71% humidity with little breeze, I have 
a small 30 watt lightbulb in the tree that lights up the flag at night, 
looks really grat, and mentioned to Bart's group that now other neighbors 
(neighbours if Canadian) are also flying their Old Glorys.
