    New years day in Seaside!!!

    Elva and I decided to spend the day at the coast, so we went to Seaside.
    Heavy rain on the way down but only a few sprinkes there, with a light breeze.
    We stopped to get me a Double Americano in a 8oz cup, then off to the sea shore.
    On the way a man in peach colored shorts was comming our was.
    The man "I am peach colored today"
    My self asking THE QUESTION " arn't your knees cold?"
    The man answered " how about you"
    My self asking "Don't you get the same stupid question a lot?"
    The man " yes! I just tell them,hands, chest and head are the places where you lose the most body heat"..
    The man then said as he walked away " If you want to know whats under the kilt you will just have to look".
    He went his way and we went our way and had a long walk south along the
    promanode.
    We the had worked up an appetite so we drove to Bill's tavern for food and a beer. As We were sitting and enjoying, three young men strolled in and sat in another booth. One of them was wearing a Black UK. "Boy was I suprised"
    As we were leaving I went over to them, shook his hand as told him he was the very first kilted man I had ever seen on the coast and he seemed happy. We chatted a bit and I told him now there are two of us, then we left.

    Sounds like a good day, I think it's always nice to see someone kilted, no matter what you are wearing.

    I've yet to see another kiltie. Though, I am certain it will happen at some point.
