I was walking through the complex where I live (a grouping of about 20 or so A-frames), and was approaching two guys on the driveway. I recognized one as being a neighbor, but I had never really met him, except one breig encounter when I brought over a mistakenly delivered package. I'm not quite sure where he's from, but my first impression was Australia (I'm pretty good at placing accents and dialects). I was wearing my UK Mocker. As I walk up, he says "That's an interesting kilt you have there."

We start talking a bit about kilts, and I mention that I have six kilts of various styles. He asks "So, did you just get off work?" I wasn't sure exactly what he was getting at, so he asks if the kilt is a part of a uniform. So I told him, no, I wear them all the time, they're more comfortable than trousers. He seemed rather amazed by that, but also interested.

Ran into a guy at the cutting table at Jo-Ann Fabrics the day before that was interested in the Workmans I was wearing. Maybe there'll be a few more kilt wearers in this isolated little corner of the USA.

Cheers,
Nick
