I now have a new friend from the Isle of Skye! I was out walking the dog yesterday and happened to be going by this gent's house as he was coming out to go to work. We had traded hello's before, and I knew he was from Scotland due to the Scottish lion license plate on the front of his truck. Neither of us was rushed, and he stopped me to say Hi, introduce himself, and pet our dog. During the conversation, I asked him where he was from, and he said Isle of Skye, and when he was a boy thought moving to the USA would have been like thinking he would some day be a movie star!

Anyway, we had a nice chat and went on our ways. Saw him again this morning and had another quick chat, but had our new dog with us and he is a little shy, so he did not want to stop and chat.

Sorry, no kilts, just a nice interaction with a Scottish gentleman. And not that you need a reason to wear a particular tartan, especially the Isle of Skye, which is a universal tartan, but I now I feel that I do have a connection, and I love the IOS tartan.....
