Front Page Kilted Today
So all day I hear that I'm on the front page of our little local weekly paper. I'm at the supermarket and a friend is sipping brew at the Starbucks and calls me over. Shows me a pic of me and his WIFE. Fortunately he's a good friend and trusts us both. Teased me.
Turns out when we were having this picture taken at last weekend's Relay for Life (we're both cancer survivors)
The newspaper photographer was off to the side and snapped a pic that wound up on the front page.
Think its the second time I've made the front page of the local paper kilted. A few years ago they took a pic of me donating my 80th pint of blood - ten gallons.
Small town, small paper...but still front page kilted. I'll take that any day.
Yup, that's my Texas Blue Bonnett in semi-trad from USA Kilts.

IIRC you live in Page AZ so "front page" should come as no surprise LOL

I figure being conceived in Ft. Worth gives me the go ahead to wear the Texas Bluebonnett....

Ditto, except that it was Waco in my case (after which my parents went to Fort Worth and we spent a few years there before moving to Houston). If I get another kilt. . .
Oh, who are we kidding here, I mean WHEN I get another kilt. . .
It'll likely be in the Texas Bluebonnet sett.

outstanding. plus another good example of appropriate footwear for the lovely hot summer.
come to think of it, this is a rare shot of riverkilt without a giant mesa or the like nearby--so he does go to a population center once in a while--probably just for supplies.
(born in austin, tx--but no blue bonnet yet)
