    well, I have read that there are no blood vessels in the knees and that they don't feel the cold.

    well, so I've read.. ask your knees.

    seriassly, I found that wearing shorts for a couple of years in winter helped 'adjust' me to wearing a kilt, bear has said how much be loves the draft, you'll grow to love it. But -30, well I'm not qualified to speak of such things.

    I met our city mayor today, he looked at me and said "are you cold?", I looked at his trousers and said, "no, are YOU cold?"

    I think kilts toughen you up.

    Graham,

    Congratulations on your trouser removal mission. I have decided to keep a couple of pairs around for costume parties, just to be a little ornery.

    Since you met your mayor all kited, I must share with you something that many will get a kick out of. I am on a committee here in Denver and on it is the wife of our mayor, she was thinking of leaving the committee because of time constraints, but because I wear a kilt she likes coming to our meetings because as she says it is so refreshing to see a man in a kilt. Next step the mayor.

    Actually, I liked it. Very bracing. Good for the thirst. (We were going from one bar to another.)

    Our Mayor, Larry Campbell, is kilted quite often. I'm trying to get him to a Kilts Night but I think we're a bit too rowdy to be good for his reputation.

    Gray,
    A post like yours, that states another fine gent has removed all trousers from his wardrobe, brings tears of joy to we poor, struggling, finger-punctured kiltmakers.
    Well done. All here should follow your example.

    You DID say his name was Campbell... NOT Kennedy.
    Arise. Kill. Eat.

    We get well below that here in Norway and, there is no way I'd clear my driveway of 60 cm's of snow without my padded scooterdress.

    The brass monkies don't even come out.
