    Mr. MacDougall,
    one cool thing about that trip was, no wait, two, yes two cool things about that,,,,no wait, three, yess, three...well, you get the Python, i mean picture...

    was that even the 12 year old girls know it's a kilt;
    that at least one other guy in Phoenix has a kilt;
    that they have seen and remember Braveheart or another kiltflick and, lastly, that you are still hanging around bookstores...

    Keep on Kiltin' (insert kilted Grateful Dead "truckin'" smilie here, when someone, not I, figures out how to make one) (Broad Hint!)

    Frumiously smilin'

    G2: Which... oh. He's wearing a kilt, like my dad has.
    G3: Oh, like in that one movie.

    I moved out of earshot, then, so I don't know what "that one movie" was, but the whole conversation amused me.

    If the movie those 12 year old girls saw was "Braveheart" then they did get an education in the wearing of kilts...

    I usually wear a kilt for weekly grocery shopping since I can't wear them at work, I have get all the kilting I can in during off work times. Other than a few comments from youg kids, I have only had positive comments from people in the supermarket. One time I met an older couple from Scottland in the check out line and they llike my Black UK and were suprised & happy to see an American in a Kilt.
    I've been on vacation in Vermont this week and I have had several positive comments from people in stores in Vermont.

    I've been kilted in Vermont and never had a bad experience. I have noticed that for a "rural" (redneck) state they are very accepting. I also heard the highland games in Queechee are good.
