The Flight of the Saltire

The XMTSAS sure gets around! Yet another great spot to land. Well done Matt!

The XMTSAS needs to land with the Denver rabble. It hasn't gotten to see my mountains yet! It's no Scottish Tartans Museum but I like 'em! And our wee airship will, too.

McMurdo and DuchessofNC came by the museum last night for Franklin's "Window Wonderland" event. (Two Fridays in December where the main street business stay open late, the town puts out luminaries, there are carollers, hot cider, etc.). They hijacked the Saltire and promised to show it the town. It is also rumored to be taking a bit of a side-trip to visit America's own castle, the Biltmore House. Stay tuned for pics! (Wish I was going, it's a beautiful home).

Matt we have the same wreath! We too have had it for years.

Great photos, Matt, and a wonderful tour of your shop, which I much appreciated. I feel like I've found my North Pole!

But *I* was left a bit disoriented. Is the first pic backwards?

As a matter of fact, I took that picture in the mirror, so yes. Good eye. (I should have thought to flip it before I posted it).

What gave it away first, the backwards Chi Rho or the kilt pin on the wrong side?

The backwards "rho" hit me right away, but then I did notice the kilt pin too.

I have this one shot for now from Window Wonderland in Franklin, I'll be putting up others soon.

The Saltire myself and the Strong Man, though someone in the crowd said the guy in the kilt was the strong man, it was a fun night. More photos of our continued adventures with the wee ship to come.
