    Solid Proof That Kilts Have "Arrived."

    This weekend went to visit my girlfriend in her new digs in Keams Canyon, Arizona on the Hopi Reservation.

    Sunday morning we drove over to Hubbell Trading Post at Ganado, Arizona on the Navajo Reservation. I'm wearing my Utilikilt Basil Survival II. When we walk into the visitor's center a lady looks at me and says, "That's a Utilikilt isn't it?"

    Sunday night we went over to Hopi Hospital at Polacca, Arizona on the Hopi Reservation to watch the Super Bowl since my girlfriend's tv wasn't hooked up yet and she's a die hard Pittsburgh fan. We're watching the game on the tv in the emergency room waiting area and a nurse comes out of the E.R. and says, "I told them it was you."

    Apparently one of the paramedics had come through the waiting room, seen a guy in a "dress" and gone back into E.R. to say there was a guy in a dress in the waiting room. The nurse, who lives in Page and knows me for a few years, told the paramedic, "That's not a dress, its a kilt, and that's Ron Macdonald the Scotsman." She told him this without checking, and came out to see if she was right. She was.

    Polacca is 160 miles from Page, but she figured it "had" to be me.

    i have now come across two instances of people referring to me as "the guy in the kilt over at the library". I think it's catching on, here, too.

    Had a checkup today with the surgeon that did my back surgery 6 weeks ago. Wore my Amerikilt brown corduroy. He was standing by a desk in the main hall speaking into his dictaphone, but stopped as I walked by and said "nice kilt, I really like that." The male nurse that was taking me to the treatment room had all kinds of questions about where he could get a kilt, how I liked wearing them, and so forth. When I told him that women really seemed to like seeing a man in a kilt - he really got interested. I gave him an Amerikilt card from my wallet, but also told him to do a Google search, that there are many companies here and abroad were he could purchase a kilt. Possibly a future kilt wearer.
