So, on the way home from the Mesa, Arizona Highland Games my lady and I laid over in Payson, Arizona.

At breakfast at the Knotty Pine Diner I'm wearing my brown leather Utilikilt. (Here's a pic. My lady thought I should post one WITHOUT a bunch of rocks in it)



After breakfast we're walking up to pay the bill and a guy stops me and asks, "Is that a leather Utilikilt?" I told him, yes, it was. I thought that was pretty knowledgeable for rural Arizona.

Then another guy stops me and asks, "What clan is that?" I told him "Cattle Clan." He laughed, then I told him it was generic for any clan.

And, at the games themselves, I saw a guy from Page who said he'd be coming down to help sort out what clan his family belonged to. Danged if he wasn't sporting a new black kilt of some sort. Saw him at a distance and he missed me....but hey....now we are TWO in my little town of Page, Arizona. Hope he's brave enough to wear it about.

Anyway, point is that if kilts are catching on in small rural towns that's a VERY positive sign for FREEDOM!!
