    Where's the Fire?

    Hell-o all,

    I was in my Workman's Utilikilt mowing my lawn. I look up to see that a fire truck is meandering its way back to the station. All of a suuden it stops right in front of my house the lights turn on and all the firefighters step out of the truck to ask me about the kilt.

    Of course the lights flashing all the neighbors started looking out and they see me talking to all those firefighters, and being known as the character of the neighborhood, they go back inside seeing that I am OK and no house is burning or cat in the tree sort of thing.

    After I answered the questions I did ask them why they turned on the lights of the truck? Came the reply of, didn't want to pull over and no one questions flashing lights on a firetruck.

    I see it now kilts from my house to the neighborhood to the fire station to the rest of the fire department to the rest of the city, gotta love the flaming attraction of the kilt!

    I read that line as "Burning a cat in a tree."

    I was scared there for a moment.

    Hope that you heart is back beating the way it should! If that sort of thing happened they should stop, but it is not going to be at my place, I can assure you of that.

    Great event GMan.

    I hung around fire houses for about five years. A snap on contemporary kilt would be perfect for work and lounging around the fire house.

    When the tone came all they have to do is step into their boots, pull up their turnout pants, and unsnap the kilt as they climbed aboard their rig.
