I was weak this morning and suggested that me and the Mrs go to our local Cracker barrel for pancakes. They are so good and for $5.99 and a cup of coffee a treat better than I can make at home.

For those of you not in in North America, Cracker Barrel is a southern-style country restaurant with a BIG gift shop in the front. They have been popping up all over the U.S. Southern style food at a good, fair price. My favorite next to the pancakes is the batter-fried okra.

Well it seems that mostly retired folk eat breakfast on Saturdays. I went kilted and did I turn a lot of heads. Many smiles, a few chuckles but mostly puzzled faces. No one said anything to me, but it started a conversation at our table...

Wife asked, "Do you kilt to get noticed?" I really have to think about this. To be honest, I think the answer is a little. It is my heritage, I enjoy the freedom, I like the style and yes I like being different. But I don't think I am trying to be the center of attention.

Why do you all wear kilts?
