[SEL] Insurance and safety rules

[Jeff Allen]

Hells Bells Joe,

I think all of the BS rules my club imposed would keep anyone from 
attending. Steam is way cool, and Bird City is a go to place for that. 
Well regualated and a great time for all. My letter to the board tonight 
will probably end my membership. I did talk at length with a couple 
steam tractor folks last year. It's getting harder for them to show 
those great machines.
