I was at the Colorado Railroad Museum a few weeks ago to see them fire up a Shay, which is a steam engine for those who don't know. I decided to ride in the caboose- specifically in the cupola, which you have climb into, as it's above head height. I went to it and climbed up without a second thought. After the ride was over I got down and was told by the attending employee that at first, she was shocked that I would do that in a kilt, and then she realized how natural it looked on me, and how comfortable I seemed in it. She figured that was why I managed to climb the ladder and not expose myself. I suppose that had I remembered I was actually wearing my kilt, I may not have done that...

How does one climb a ladder and not expose one's self?

Very carefully... In truth, I was wearing a pair of boxers that matched the kilt. I took the advice of a friend who does Highland country dancing- I wear boxers that blend. That way, people aren't sure what they're seeing, even though they see nothing, and the mystery is preserved.

I have a bad habit of "being at one" with my couch, kilted or not.

Knowing Hawk, I was about to say that he would have worn boxers – and sure enough he did!
It is a precaution worth taking when riding the rails. But having the shorts match the kilt was a master touch.
And, as Derek says, wearing the kilt is something that grows on one.
