If you don't have a gun, here's a more humane way to wreck someone’s evil plans for you.



Did you know this? I didn't. I never really thought of it before. I guess I can get rid of the baseball bat.



Wasp Spray



A friend who is a receptionist in a church in a high risk area was

concerned about someone coming into the office on Monday to rob them

when they were counting the collection. She asked the local police

department about using pepper spray and they recommended to her that

she get a can of wasp spray instead.



The wasp spray, they told her, can shoot up to twenty feet away and is

a lot more accurate, while with the pepper

Spray, they have to get too close to you and could overpower you. The

Wasp spray temporarily blinds an attacker until they get to the

hospital for an antidote. She keeps a can on her desk in the office

And it doesn't attract attention from people like a can of pepper

spray would. She also keeps one nearby at home for home protection.

Thought this was interesting and might be of use.



On the heels of a break in and beating that left an elderly woman in

Toledo dead, self defense experts have a tip that could save

your life.



Val Glinka teaches self-defense to students at

Sylvania Southview High School . For decades, he's suggested putting a

can of wasp and hornet spray near your door or bed.



Glinka says, "This is better than anything I can teach them."



Glinka considers it inexpensive, easy to find, and more effective than

mace or pepper spray. The cans typically shoot 20 to 30 feet; so

if someone tries to break into your home, Glinka says "spray the

culprit in the eyes". It's a tip he's given to students for decades.

It's also one he wants everyone to hear. If you're looking for

protection, Glinka says look to the spray.



"That's going to give you a chance to call the police; maybe get

out."



Maybe even save a life.



Please share this with all the people in your life.

HAPPY HOLIDAY's]]> Roth T-Shirts w/ HET Logo on sleeve? http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/115961/roth-t-shirts-w-het-logo-on-sleeve Sun, 29 Nov 2009 02:20:53 +0000 jsrail 115961@/forum/discussions
I posted this on the Street Rod forum but thought there might be some interest here. I have talked with our chapter president and if this becomes a go, we'll put it out into our monthly newsletter.

I emailed Ilene Roth widow of Ed "Big Daddy" Roth a few days ago and told her I had posted on our street rod forum that she had a '46 or '47 Hudson pick-up on one of Ed's shirts called "Joker's Wild." Some of the guys on that forum already bought them. Below is what I posted to the Street Rod forum.

I don't know if this should be restricted to selling only to the HET Club members, but personally, I don't think it should. We should do anything if it gets word out about our Club.

Ilene Roth, Ed "Big Daddy" Roth's wife emailed me after I told her I had posted the Jokers Wild t-shirt T-Shirt and wondered if we would like a one-time run of a Roth T-Shirt with the HET Club Logo on the left sleeve. She is really a nice person and when she saw you guys buying shirts, she wanted to know if we wanted the shirts. She uses the shirt sales to help the family out as well as keep Ed's copyrights in the family.

She has made a nice offer and I don't now how many folks would buy one, but I think it would be great. It helps out the Roth family and gives us a personal shirt to boot. Sounds good to me, but any interest out there?

I also asked her if they had another design with a Hudson, Essex, or Terraplane with a stock motor or no motor showing. I'm sure she'll look into it.

Just think how many other clubs out there would have something like this? Our chapter president and I think it could be a fun thing and a piece of history. How many of you out there collected his cards and stickers when you were a kid. I think it's an offer we should take up. I am waiting for her to email me back, but in the meantime, I would like to be able to tell her some rough number of how many t-shirts we would want.

I'm NOT real good at writing up stuff, hope this all made some kind of sense! LOL

Please email me at jayeldridge@cox.net or pm me. I need to know how much interest is out there.]]> Sons of Anarchy - Any other Fans out there? http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/110721/sons-of-anarchy-any-other-fans-out-there Wed, 09 Sep 2009 01:58:06 +0000 rambos_ride 110721@/forum/discussions
Luckily tonight starts the new season of Sons of Anarchy.

It's not that I want to be an outlaw biker, but there's some good actors and by the end of season one some fresh compelling story lines.

Anyway, I thought I'd see if anyone else is a fan of the show, or what you might think!]]> New keep america green campaign http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/115784/new-keep-america-green-campaign Wed, 25 Nov 2009 03:23:12 +0000 37 Terraplane#2 115784@/forum/discussions Enloa Gay http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/115314/enloa-gay Mon, 16 Nov 2009 21:25:52 +0000 esfoder 115314@/forum/discussions

Hanson Motor Co. was in business in Bloomington, IN from 1920-1970. (founded by my Grandfather)

The current picture is of my car and the current residents of the building.

After the Second World War my uncle built this building and obtained the Hudson Dealership. He sold Hudson from 1946 until 1953.
