I completely missed that... must pop in and have a look.

Ohhh, we get noticed... Late yesterday afternoon while paying for a purchase at Wal*Mart, there was a woman, late twenties, with 2 young boys at her side in front of me. The one young fellow, looking quite concerned at my attire, grabbed his mothers leg and tugged. "Yes", she said looking down, "thats the same man in the kilt we saw before". I just smiled back.

Well, good for her! She got it right and explained it to her kids without puting a spin on it.

A few minutes later, while going out the main doors, the local fire fighters were campaigning for charity. I popped a few dollars into the big rubber boot one fellow was holding and he it says to me... "You wore your kilt just for this?!".... "Abolutely!", I responded and smiled.
As I walked away, I overheard one of the guys say, "We should be wearing kilts."

Wal*Mart and stores like it all seem to have an interesting array of characters most of the time anyway. I consider myself just one of the crowd there. I think people are getting used to seeing me around and are less and less inclined to comment.

... Had a couple of comments in the morning where I used the kiltday line. That really spun people so bad that I felt dishonest. I'll get over it.
I gotta try that line one of these days.
