The weather in Chicago is great today...well into the 50's F....and the shorts and the flip-flops are already coming out. In the short drive from here to the poodle clipper's and the mall, I must have seen a good two dozen plus people out in their shorts and flip-flops...it's like they carry them around in their car trunks (boots for our UK friends) and dive in and change clothing when the temps go over reezing.

Why do I bring this up? Because the St. Patrick's Day Parade downtown is tomorrow (beware the Ides of March!) and they predict a serious drop in the temperature and these people will be there and theywill still be wearing their damn shorts and flip-flops!

Yet if you wear a kilt, these are the same people who'll be cracking jokes and asking "aren't you cold?".

Amateurs!

Best
