At the motel Tuesday night I almost bumped into another guest in the lobby. There were no excuse me's. Instead, instantly he said, "Nice kilt, sir." Next morning, having coffee in the same lobby, a couple older guys dressed in what seems to be a uniform here in the middle of the country, boots, jeans, and blue plaid shirts, sat scowling at me and mumbling between themselves.

When I stopped at a really small town in Kansas for gas, the teenage girl clerk, smiled amusingly, as if she were thinking I can't believe a guy in a kilt just walked into my store. I think I'll always travel kilted, it just makes things more interesting.

The Woman was in awe of my fractionally completed Eternity tartan kilt. I guess I better keep her that way and get the darned thing done. I will be appealing to some of you kampers for advice I suspect.
Of course she was! And don't think we won't be watching your progress. Speedy McDriverpants.
