    New response

    Hell-o all,

    Greetings, from at the moment anyway, sub-zero temperatures. With that as a preface yes I was Kilted as usual at the coffee shop.

    A friend and neighbor of the coffee shop walked in as I was ready to leave and needed to have the battery jumped on her auto. Naturally I went to assist, as my battery is about a year old and still doing fairly well.

    As we were connecting up and getting everything ready to go another auto pulls up and opens the window and says...........

    .......Now I know the meaning of Scotland the Brave!

    Little did he know how toasty it does get under the kilt.

    LOL....well it was 10 degrees last night when I ventured down to the corner for some chinese food in my corduroy UK...I got looks from people that suggested that I was a deranged individual for even thinking of going out like that...the knee caps might have been cold but other than that I was fine....

    It was 25 degrees this morning. I wore one of my military kilts (Stewert Hunting) to church. I was deluged with people asking "aren't you cold?". Once I explained how much material was in the kilt they were satisfied. Several women even said that perhaps they should replace their dresses with kilts.
