I think the plates are actually made at Folsom near Sacramento. Don't
think there is any one of "Uncle Charlie's" caliber there. Johnny Cash
did "perform" there once I believe.

                Hey Greg,

                I think Chuck is vacationing at Vacaville, not Q.
                Don't know where they make those plates. I know I
wouldn't be happy to learn
                that he was working in any kind of situation where he
had access to tools.
                But then either Vacaville or Quentin is closer to Dublin
than to Carmel <G>
                .

                Hal

                Hello fellow listers,

                Thought I'd share this story with all y'all on the list.
I went to the DMV
                today to pick up my new personalized license plates for
my Sprite that I
                ordered way back in July.  They have a real cool Lake
Tahoe background one
                here in California, and that was the background I chose.
It was supposed to
                say SPRITE (yeah, I couldn't believe it was available
either!!!).  Well, it
                did say SPRITE, but I guess the convict had better
things to do,  and
                instead of centering SPRITE on the license plate,  he
left justified it,
                leaving what seemed like half of the plate empty.  I
wonder if ole Charlie
                Manson made the plates up at San Quentin, and if he was
sending me a
                message???<grin>  Oh well, DMV reordered them at no
charge, and hopefully
                I'll get them around Thanksgiving.  The little guy
should be out of the
                paint shop by then.
