My wife, daughter(8 1/2 months ALREADY) and I went to Illinois to see family. well we flew into St. louis since Frontier didnt fly to Bloomington.... so we had some time before our flight home and decided to goto the St. louis zoo...I went kilted and got stopped by the Zoo Ranger.... Its a little intimidating when a man with a gun pulls up next to you and asks to talk to you for a second!! anyhow he asked why, and I said why not? then he beamed a big smile and said " Finally! someone as crazy as me to wear a kilt just because! " then he gave me (good natured) flack about wearing a Guinness T-shirt with a kilt... something along the lines of " why do you want to sully that kilt by wearing something IRISH!?!?! we had a good talk and he asked if I was going to the games the next weekend.....boy was I bummed when I found out about the games! next trip I'm gonna set it up so we can go OH by the way ....I did let him know there are alot of us out here, and gave him the website! heck maybe he's on here already! it was Sept. that we went back.


P.S. wearing a "tank" at the St. louis zoo wasnt bad....the heat got to me a little ...more the humidity it was like 80ish w/ like 70% humidity my advice? see the penguins ....often!! going from that heat to 38 F. was heaven!!
