    He's a 10!

    Yesterday I went with the family to theJuly 4th celebration on the Square in Marietta, sporting a USAK in the weathered Buchanan, wdie-brimmed planters hat, casual boots and hose. I got several nice comments in teh course of the day, but the best was from a man and his wife. He came up to me from his sitting spot on a corner and said

    "My wife and I sit here every year people-watching and rate the best ones. I just wanted to say that on a scale of one to ten you sir, are a complete ten."

    I've had a lot of comments in my 3 years kilted, but this one is memorable, coming from professional people watchers.

    I wore my USAKILTS IoS casual to the City of Dectaur celebration and was literally stopped almost every 5 minutes for a compliment or question. What a night! Georgia is truly kilt friendly, and it was a great way to celebrate MY independence as well as my beautiful, beloved country's!

    It's only people verbalizing what you already know....LOL but good for you and the compliments, it is special when folks go out of their way, to say good things.
