    Kevin, Thanks for sharing .
    Your story is so typical of many here at X and just goes to show that being kilted isn't so bad. It's more of a prblem for other non-kilted to grapple with

    WalMart ain't so bad. My wife gets her decongestans there all the time. One of the regular greeters knows me by name and so do some of the checkers and customer service people. A kilt wearer is memorable. ;)

    Thanks Kevin. I enjoyed reading about your first-day observations.
    Sure can be fun watching the reactions, eh?

    Great observations, Kevin.

    I know the feeling of not wanting to feel like you're wearing the kilt as a sociological experiment, but sometimes (I freely admit it) I get a bit of a kick out of wearing it in places where people do not expect nor understand it, just to get their reactions.

    I suppose it's a bit immature, but then, that's just me. I like pushing buttons a bit. And if there's a way to do it while being extraordinarily comfortable and celebrating my roots as well, then I'm-a gonna do it.

    Thanks all for your kind words of affirmation, and for letting me share here. I realize this is old hat for you all. It is nice to be in the company of the more enlightened, and expereinced in kilting, as I explore new territory - very comforting. I'm looking forward ot many more days in the kilt

    And Graham, our mutual Friend says you're one if His favorites. ;-)
