Hey C.A.R. rep:

You’re forgetting the “contemporary, yet compatible” part of the guidelines. You’re wardrobe suggestions do not comply.

I look forward to your next post!

The C.A.R. Security Team will be out IN FORCE to monitor this “walk.” Random checkpoints will be set up to regulate clothing. NOTE: If you are not wearing clothing made before 1890, or replica clothing made by approved seamstresses/tailors, then you will be forced to go back to your historic home and change into C.A.R.-approved outerwear. Underwear will not be checked, as such garments are currently not within our scope.

As you all already know, this rule was voted on behind closed doors many months ago, so do not pretend you haven’t heard about this. Historic phrases such as “yea,” “nea” and “huzzah” were heard at this meeting, which made for a more historically pleasant time.

If you are found to be wearing unregulated clothing during this historic occasion, you will receive a citation. 3 citations and you’ll receive a warning. 5 warnings, and you’ll receive a verbal reprimand. 6 verbal reprimands will get you a written reprimand. You do not want to know what comes after a written reprimand.

Please, before our history becomes the future!

Next month, our closed meeting will entail ridding the neighborhood of computers, telephones, blenders and the like. See the email and/or fax I sent last week from my iPhone.

And hardly anyone plans for the vegetarians of the bunch, ;).

It does sound like a great idea though and if it weren’t for the heat I’d probably go (and the fact that I need to walk my dogs during that time frame).

I know! It always seems to be on the hottest day of the year. People in Texas have theirs in October.
