Arcosanti Kilted

[Riverkilt]

Well MacDougall,

If you like architecture (me too) sometime take a drive around the canyon and up to Colorado City, AZ/Hilldale, UT. The folks there build up, the build out flat, they build compounds, there are all sorts of amazing architectural designs and choices of building materials to be seen in a town(s) of 12,000. I once thought the place would make an amazing doctoral thesis for an architecture student...then a few years ago stumbled on the fact that someone actually had done one for ASU or U of A...don't recall.

Kilting in the area if FUN...I think a treat for the locals since they're so used to getting stared at themselves...gives them someone to stare at for a change.

Drove down to Arcosanti, Arizona for a friend's birthday party this weekend. My lady snapped this pic just before the sun went down.

The background is the Agua Fria National Monument. Arcosanti is hard to describe...my first trip even though I've lived in Arizona for 34 years...don't plan to be back. Sorta like being on another planet...and the life form behind me seemed ready to attack.

Anyhow, now that slightly cooler weather is here can sport my argyll jackets. And of course the kilt is Kathy Lare hand sewn 16 oz strome in Isle of Skye, Lewis Kilt hose from Matt's Museum, the most lovely leather nightstalker sporran from Jerry at SWK. Kathy had the argyll made to measure for my beer belly at Lochcarron.

Ron, I don't usually comment on folks outfits but I have to say that yours is absolutely smashing. That green (Lovatt?) Argyll with the Isle of Skye and purple hose is just fantastic. The landscape indeed is a bit alien looking.

Hey Todd,
snip...

Still wanna figure out a way for my replica cavalry knee boots to work with my kilts...snip

Ron

er....no......please no... Somehow I think it would look too much like Barbarella.

And, Chrome Scholar, it will have a lift big enough to accommodate a gurney, for when I'm old and ill... no hiking up and down steps.

Building codes have to do with more than just whether or not the elevators will accommodate a gurney.

Love the landscape, love the sunset, and really love the Kilt
