    Small Town Americana on the 4th

    Our little town had a parade then a party in the park. Realized my UK Natural would work for a red, white and blue outfit with my X Marks t-shirt and some red Sportkilt sox.



    One old guy stopped me at the park gig and asked, "Where can I get a pair of pants like that? I need pockets like that when I work." Didn't burst his bubble just gave him the UK website...let him figure out they're not pants.

    Ron, why do I always see a red cross instead of being able to view your pictures? And when I right click on the cross I get a menu which includes "show picture" but when I click on that I get transferred to another website which invites me to download a toolbar update.

    No clue...not a techie...Nigel set things up so I could post IMFF gallery pics to X Marks...so my only "guess" is it has something to do with your end...jeez, sorry, sound like a tier one techie...but serious...I just don't know.

    I have the same problem on some other folks pics.

    In the process of putting up a gallery at kiltphoto site. But its in the States...thought it'd be easier for you with the English site.

    Wish I had an answer...just don't.

    It does kinda look like a pair of cargo shorts in that picture. Actually, I've had that happen to me once: I was wearing a UK original at a storage facility and the woman taking me to the unit said she liked my shorts. I just told her it was actually a kilt; she looked closer and said something positive (but I don't remember what).

    Alex,

    Ron's album and mine are both on the IMFF.net site. I have heard from the webmaster that he is having a problem with his water-cooled PC (it has sprung a leak in the middle of our extraordinary heat-wave!) and he is waiting for parts. He hopes the IMFF site, together with our albums, will be up and running again in a day or two.

    Even when things are running normally, a few people find difficulty in seeing individual photos, which we link back to our albums, and even the albums themselves. Don't ask me why, but temporarily turning off your firewall whilst viewing our images probably allows you to see them.

    Ron, that is a nice look. I would not have put that together myself, but for the 4th that looks great. I actually had a hard time coming up with something that showed the colors yesterday for our outing to the city.

    Well, Ron, whatever caused the red cross last night, I'm seeing your picture clearly tonight. I'd agree that the way the breeze has caught your kilt makes it appear like a wide pair of shorts. Proof if any were needed that bifurcation is unnecessary.

    Great outfit for the 4th, Ron!

    Don't think I could wear it, tho', since I'm not a Red Sox fan... :rolleyes:
