    Aye, there's a reason Marton Mills cranks out all that tartan polyviscose material.

    And, expect your taste in kilts to change...just seems to for many of us.

    You mean how I am actually thinking of getting one of the Hot Topic kilts for around the house, and perhaps even a utilikilt eventually.... I kinda noticed. I actually am thinking of getting one of the urban kilts too, dunno why though.

    Are you sure you don't have any friends in the D.P.W. who would like to sponsor a few kilts for you? Or former snow plow operators?

    I am not sure what you mean. Unless you are alluding to the mess where our street department won a few hundred million dollars and don't actually work anymore, during the winter. Yeah, they are more 'former' plow operators that there ought to be in this town. They are too busy sueing each other for a bigger share and such, and the sad truth is that 5 years from now, I'd bet most of them will be flat broke.

    (I have to say, really, under the circumstance of that combined with high salt prices, the crews out there are doing a fair job this year, even if 12 out of the 20 did win the Mega Millions, and almost all of the other 8 are suing for a share.)

    Sathor - I was referring to the Mega millions winners. I had hoped that one might be a cousin or friend that would rather sponsor your kilt collection than donate all that money to some overcharging lawyers, who are probably the only ones that will have the money in three or four years.

    The greed fest has been in the news out here as well.

    You are probably right that they shouldn't let their commercial drivers licenses lapse. They will need them again soon.

    Back to the land of kilts.
