    contrary to popular belief...it DOES get cold here in the desert!

    but not cold enough to require "extra cloth" under the kilt

    not trying to sound like a tough guy ( ok kinda:rolleyes: ) but when I was living in Denver we would go to LoDo ( lower downtown) at night, in the winter time , and if anyone's ever been to the front range of the rockies(AKA Denver) they know it gets pretty windy there! well except for having to hold my kilt down from the wind I had no problem doing a pub crawl in 5F weather!
    my only complaint was my hands got frozen holding my kilt down! (wind gusts up to about 15 mph multiplied by being channeled in between buildings ...probably closer to 20 will do that though ) I wore my heavy wool tank, cable knit hose and had a military type sweater, a flight jacket and my balmoral for a cover.... the rule of the road is .........

    keep your top warm, and your @$$ will follow!!
    Irish diplomacy: is telling a man to go to he)) in such a way that he looks forward to the trip!

    Being one who has experienced the "breeze" of the Rockies, I can attest that I have never had any problems in the cold.
