IG,

That pirate would be none other than Mad Max.
He is a bit of a legend at the Highland games around this area.
He was wearing the pirate attire long before the Pirates of the Caribbean movie ever came out.

I am glad you got to meet him.

Matt is a wealth of information.
I tend to learn something new every time I meet him.

I would have liked to have made it but I was on call this weekend.
Although after the first year where it was almost as hot as yesterday.(around 98) I still might not have made it.

Just for reference, when I went to visit Jamie out west in May it got up to 99 degrees F but with low humidity. I would compare it to a day here in south of 85 degrees F. and
90% humidity. Yesterday was way to hot for me.
