    A trip to the grocery store - puffer

    This afternoon I headed out on a trip to the Grocery Store. I grabbed my new "twisted cane" ( by TC) & headed out. Here is a recap
    1. Was "stopped" by the Lady who delivers my USPS "Pri0rty Mail" She asked if the cane was what she had delivered yesterday. I said yes, then she "examined" it & then said she loved it.
    BTW, This has been going on for almost 2 years.

    2. I was "stopped" by a very attractive young lady (Jewelery Dept.) that told me that her husband, had ordered his 1st kilt after seeing mine & being referred to XMS.

    3. Another female person came up & said she had seen me OFTEN Kilted, and asked if I knew about "kilts" for women. I said no, but I referred her to XMS.

    4. The HIGHLIGHT was when a LIttLE girl (5 years old) stood in front of me staring. After asking permission from her Mother, I knelt down, & talked to her. She was "fascinated by the fact, I was wearing such a "pretty" skirt" like the one her Grandfather had.( a SEAFORTH)

    On the way home, a car pulled up along sde of me & the gentleman driviving leaned out & said "GREAT"!!

    What a fantastic Day.!!

    Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.

    Puffer,

    Each day a lot of men go to the store for a loaf of bread, or a wing nut, or a newspaper.

    They return from their errand with at best a loaf of bread, or a wing nut, or a newspaper.

    When we kilted gentlemen sally forth in our splendour we come home with memories of wonderful interactions with all manner of different people as well.

    The world is just a little brighter and more fun for we lucky kilted folk

    Well done!

    Cheers

    Jamie

    Cheers to that Puffer!
    Yesterday, I had a similar experience...I was down at the local coffee hang out and as I stood up to leave, I had a beautiful 25 yr. old blonde turn to me and say with enthusiasm: "REAL MEN WEAR KILTS!"
