    The kilt that stopped traffic!

    So there I was, walking downtown through Bozeman in my kilt, like I often do, when I stopped at an intersection because the light had just turned red. I expected, like I usually do, that the traffic crossing my path would start moving again, as they were faced with a green light.

    They didn't move.

    I looked to make sure the light was green for them, and it certainly was. I looked at the drivers of the vehicles, and they stared right back at me, ignoring their green light. Now, I don't think that there was anything particularly unusual about that specific kilt, nor was it a windy day, but these drivers didn't move their vehicles until just a couple seconds before their green light changed.

    Now I don't know about the rest of you, but I kind of enjoyed that.

    Well down philbo! Any man that can stop traffic has got something going for him. My hats off to you!

    I hope that there were ladies in the cars that were stopped and staring at you.

    From the sounds of it, you're lucky you didn't cause traffic crashes too!

    You don't suppose it was the McLOUD tartan you were wearing...

    Indeed, perhaps it was the McLOUD tartan. No, unfortunately I didn't see any females on those vehicles. Just a couple of guys who looked like they couldn't quite comprehend things. I might try it again today, but it's a bit windy so I'll need a heavier kilt.
