Sharing Cautions

A couple years back on a flatwater raft trip down Glen Canyon of the Colorado River. I'd been wading in the river at the stop to see Anasazi petroglyphs and my Survival II Utilikilt got wet along the hemline.

Made sense to me to stand in the bow of the raft and allow the wind in the canyon to dry the kilt.

It was a raft full of other AA members attending our local annual AA roundup. Just as one grizzled old guy was getting ready to take a scenic photo the wind whipped the back of my kilt up and answered "the question."

He couldn't resist showing everyone and anyone at the round up the digital "proof" that I was a true Scotsman.

I had no intention of mooning the raft...just the wind - which does unusual things down in the canyon - was feeling frisky.

Beware of groups of girls at the Auld Dubliner in Tucson w/ cameras, hiking steep trails with a date who is slower than you, sitting down front in the grass at concerts, overreaching for a billiards shot. and there is absolutely no modest way to exit a Corvette in a kilt. I think that is my top five.

My wife drives a BMW Z3... yes, it's a challenge. Actually, the car door is your friend! Perhaps just swing it halfway open? then turn, tuck, stand.

Yeah, but an F150 ain't much easier.

But all I have is a 4wd Chev and a vette.

Daughters ride backed his car onto a culvert wall and asked for assistance. I said call a tow truck, but the wife seemed to think I could pull him free with my truck, so I crawled under the off side of the car to see what it was resting on. No one on that side of the car when I went under, several red faced spectators when I came back out.

At a country fete a few years back, having given my sporran to my date, for some reason I forget (I think she wanted something from it, and it was my turn at the coconut shy or something). It may have been a trifle unwise of me not to get it back from her before entering the hurdles.
