I've seen two threads about people who are ticked tonight, so I thought I would let you all know that I am not ticked off. I had an unusually good night kilted. My wife and I met my parents and son at Denny's for dinner (at the boy's request.) Mrs Nighthawk and I spent about 20 minutes wondering around Hobby Lobby getting Christmas gift ideas for Mom. We then walked the half mile or so (in 15 degree F weather) to Denny's, where the waitress who greeted us just for the life of her couldn't believe that I wasn't freezing my bits and pieces off. I had the opportunity to show her how the kilt is constructed, and just where all the dead air is, and how it keeps you nice and toasty. I was wearing a SWK heavyweight Nightstalker, grey shirt, grey hose, and my black leather duster. So- I told the waitress, who thought like most Americans that the kilt is nothing more than a skirt for men, to get in her mind what her skirts feel like as far as the fabric goes. I had her feel the material of my kilt. Her eyes went wide with surprise at how thick it was in comparison to her skirts. She then understood, and had to take time to call her boyfriend and send him a picture of me from her cell phone. I heard her saying that he needs to get on of those things... so I gave her Stillwater's website addy.

So- I am not ticked. I had a good day.
