    Barb, is there ever a time when you're NOT working on a kilt? Thanks for the picture, and that sure is a nice tartan.

    That looks like the Douglas (weathered) tartan (at least from my Blackberry®! )

    And that is VERY awesome Barb.

    Yup - Weathered Douglas! Good eyes.

    No pics this time, actually. I gave a paper at an international volcanological congress, and I actually didn't take any pictures. Was weird being in Iceland when it got dark at night, tho...

    And, if you want something really esoteric (!), you can read my paper abstract at

    And the person in the pics in the pink jacket is not me - it's my research student (but those are Dave's feet in the black gaiters...).

    And if you're _really_ interested, you can download a poster of our research work at

    As Steve's wife would say, "WAY too much information....."

    Well Barb, you have found a way to keep your feet warm while in Iceland. That is cool!

    I'm starting to believe that Barb works on kilts only when in motion - an utterly amazing feat considering how straight all of her lines are. Both of my Tewksbury's were made in the passenger seat of her car, I'm told.

    Well, that's going to be one lucky weathered Douglas!
