    Another example of the Power of the Kilt

    Two weeks ago as I walked down the main thoroughfare at the Los Angeles County fair a gentleman calls out to me...."Excuse me, were you in Yosemite last August?" Well, as a matter of fact my wife and I were in Yosemite last August. He turns to his wife and says, see I told you it was the same guy, saw the kilt, then the hat and I just knew it was him.

    Who new I would ever have groupies, just following me from one venue to another.

    Another great day kilted.

    Cheers,

    Marshal Moroni

    Great story. Its a small world when people recognise you again in a different location.

    Funny. Most people who recognize me try to avoid me. I'll have to work on that.

    Kilt groupies! I like the sound of that.

    Me too!

    Of course, also I try to avoid most of the people I know.

    I have yet to be recognized by strangers in different places at different times, but I am often not recognized by people when not "bekilted." I wear p@nts as "Social Camouflage!"
