    I'll ask him if he's seen anyone kilted in the neighborhood. He and his wife both retired from 3M.

    Sounds like he was saying, "Would I give everyone a show?" Wind can be scary until you're used to it.

    I know that it is hard to try to understand where people are coming from, but I like the way he interacted with you.

    I wasn't at all offended--just thought it was odd, but as I say, that's Austin. They expressed a friendly attitude throughout.

    Considering that it was late Saturday evening during Pride weekend, which in Austin is a big time for celebration by gay and non-gay people alike, it's entirely possible that they had been indulging in some legal and/or illegal stimulants and felt a little 'friendlier' than usual. I was cool with it, but l wanted to get to the club for some dancin' rather than continue tossing quips with them on the corner.
