Unless you live in mars, you should know about the massive ice storm that affected several states earlier this week, and which still has several hundreds of thousands of people without power.

Well, wife and I were one of those people, lost power on Tuesday night, and we finally got it back this morning.

So, it was either stay home and freeze, go to a hotel or go to a shelter.

Freeze at home was a NO-NO
Go to a hotel was a NO CAN'T DO

So, go to a shelter was the choice. (forced mind you)

And well, being that I am kilted daily, I didn't think any of it so we went to the shelter...me kilted.

I will say it was the worst 48 hours I've ever spent anywhere, either the people there thought I was the entertainment or they simply figured what the heck, let's all make fun of the guy in the kilt anyway.

A nice assortment of people of all colors, political views, ages, sexes and even social status.

All united in their efforts to ridicule me.

Oh well, hopefully they are still without power in the shelter while we were finally able to go home.
