    Off to town in my WPG Gordon

    Yesterday started off snowy and cold and as the day progressed the sun came out and it b became somewhat warmer, at least enough to melt the ice but not all of the snow. So in honor of what I would like to think will be our last snow I wore my WPG Gordon Highlander to keep me toasty warm and their 100% wool kilt hose.

    The birds were fed and the Cardinals, Robbins and Woodpeckers were content.


    I am ready to head off to town.


    I ended going to Hobby Lobby to have a McIver Clan history I bought from the Scottish Tartans Museum with a sample tartan swatch from my new tank put in a frame. From there it is a short drive to the Dusty Bookshelf in Aggieville. I always have to check out the recent used books and see how the store’s cat is doing, most of the time he is sleeping on one of the chairs.



    I found two books that I wanted and only paid $5 for each which is quite a bargain. From there it is a short walk down to the Irish bar where I ordered a pint of Guinness and looked over my new books.

    That's a very smart outfit Rogerson. It looks like you missed the BIG part of the the snowstorm.

    We are north of Interstate 70, so most of the time we get lucky with the weather.

    Nice looking outfit, I like the yellow flashes with the WPG hose, I've never thought of that but it looks great.

    Great look. I've read The Last Templar, it's a good read.

    Seriously smart, mate. Excellent, in fact - very tastefully put together.

    Did I miss something? Where does one get those XMarks badges?

    Best wishes
