The majority of the Miners travelled through SF to get supplies etc. before going into the "hills". Sacramento was pretty much just an outpost (i.e Sutter's Fort), and the mining towns were not much either. Levi Strauss didn't do well at mining, but thought of using the canvas to make pants that could put up to the abuse of mining without being destroyed.

I think the young lady was speaking off the top of her young head, and we all remember how we "knew it all" back then!

[Mr. Kilt]

My daughter is 22 and she thinks my kilts are cool.

Last week I had a fellow from Glasgow on my bus. He was in town to visit his daughter who was in the hospital here. We had a nice conversation about all sorts of things, and I asked him what he thought about people in other countries wearing kilts. He said as long as they had some kind of connection to Scotland or Ireland, he thought it was great! He said he only wears his for special occasions, but didn't have any problem with someone who wears them all the time.
