    Something about that eyeball to eyeball contact that makes people stop and think. Haven't had it in awhile, people are are use to it by now.

    What I find amusing is how they want to laugh -- get cut off like that, then we have a field day of laughter as we move on.

    bubba, I'm no giant either, though I'm over 6' I only weigh in at about 180-190. I think it's the broken, beat up knuckles and the "thousand yard stare".

    On a brighter note, I spent the afternoon at the Salt Water Pow Wow, a gathering of the southeastern tribes. I did have one older lady call my kilt a skirt and was kinda surpirsed when one of the indians jumped her saying "ma'am, it rude to insult a man's choice of dress. This gentleman is showing his pride in a heritage as old as ours." :o Turns out he has MacTavish in his background and that the MacQueens and MacTavish are distantly related. I did get a lot of compliments from the indians (no, they don't call themselves native americans) on my kilt. This from people in full outfit, even had one ask me to pose for a pic.

    That happened to me in the Mountains in NC up on the Parkway last Sept. My wife and I were walking along this overlook when a SUV pulled up and a girl inside asked if she could take a picture of me in my Kilt. That was a nice surprise..
