well, I have read that there are no blood vessels in the knees and that they don't feel the cold.

well, so I've read.. ask your knees.

seriassly, I found that wearing shorts for a couple of years in winter helped 'adjust' me to wearing a kilt, bear has said how much be loves the draft, you'll grow to love it. But -30, well I'm not qualified to speak of such things.

I met our city mayor today, he looked at me and said "are you cold?", I looked at his trousers and said, "no, are YOU cold?"

I think kilts toughen you up.
