    So, I'm at my doctor's office this morning after my annual physical exam waiting to pay my bill.

    An elderly (older than me) lady is walking in, sees me in my blue denim Utilikilt, and says to her friend..."He's wearing a kilt, they're short of them now in Scotland." Then she looks me in the eye but says no more.

    Maybe she expected me to donate mine...?

    But dang folks....I live in a VERY remote area....but we do have cable and dish tv so guess she picked it up there...

    People notice, and people seem to care.

    The power of the Media!!!

    I was at my school's faculty Christmas party just tonight and no fewer than 6 different folks commented to me about the "kilt shortage." most understood the situation well enough, but a few were totally confused, so I had to explain as best I could.

    They do indeed, Ron. I was leaving the post office today when a fellow walking behind me said that perhaps I should send mine to Scotland for the troops.
