    It would seem probable that tartan could have been "invented" in many places either simultaneously or at different times with no cultural interaction. But isn't it interesting to think that in spite of outwardly different cultures that in so many places people are having the same ideas? Facetiously, I'd say that tartan might possibly have been invented by God and given to humans. No one can say when the idea to make little box-shaped patterns was spawned, but it must have been on the second or third day after the first person wove cloth.

    My wife used to think that I should only wear a kilt to Scottish or family events, but the more I wear one the less an issue it has become. Last weekend was my family golf outing and we were gone from Friday to Sunday and I only packed kilts. Hated to put pants back on for work on Monday.

    Oh, I know what you mean! Pants, ugh. During my teenage years I was an auto mechanic, so would come home, get cleaned up, and change out of my work clothes. It's almost the same thing now as I come home from the office and can't wait to change to a kilt.
