| | | Kilted at the Hospital
I work at a hospital, and since I have been there I have gotten all three of the shift supervisors who work for me into wearing kilts.
By a strange coincidence, last night all three of them were at the hospital at the same time (in uniform of course, we do Security) and in walks this gent and his lady, and he is wearing a Utilikilt.
I wasnt there for it, but apparently they all had a nice coversation about kilt wearing before he went on to visit his loved ones.
I do believe that is my first kilt sighting "in the wild" while I was working.

| I like to keep track of where kilts are appearing "in the wild" so do you mind me asking where you are approximately on the planet?

Orange County, California. Anaheim to be precise (home of Disney Land, where I have spotted several 'wild' kilts.)

Thank god! when I saw the title of this post, I had all kinds of horrid thoughts of something happening to you. Glad to know it was just the site of a kilt sighting!
BTW, what do you do in the hospital?
Rob... always nosy about others jobs, they alway seem more exciting than my own...

Nope, fortunately I am healthy as always.
I'm the Security Director there, and while I dont have to wear a uniform, I cant wear my kilt either.

Yaish, guessing you saw in the July Utilikilts newsletter that they found some more white/natural duck for white workman's. First come, first served...perfect for the medical types in a hospital.
Always thought they'd be perfect for E.R. docs/nurses IF protected by some sort of apron...otherwise the white would soon be blood red and probably considered a biohazard...
