Fun day at the mall.

That story is awesome! I would love to see something like that; a guy in a kilt taking charge barking orders at an accident scene

Wow, that must have been quite a sight! Between the bad accident scene and you in your kilt...:grin: I hope the woman in the car wasn't hurt too badly.

It's more excitement than I'd want, but I would think that they wouldn't dare disobey you!

Even the officers who arrived, that are generally the most caustic about my kilts) did not say anything about what I was wearing. A few firefighters I know did mention something, but not at all caustic. But they haven't seen me in a kilt before. Maybe they are getting used to the kilted?

No one was hurt, but I am anxious to return to duty to see what was determined to be the "cause" of the accident. In Nebraska, the state wants some sort of cause, or determination of where the error was. Obviously the driver, but what led to her driving behavior.

If it is printed in the local papars, which were all on-scene, in addtion to local TV, I might just be in one of the photos. Either way, I will post a copy or a link to the pictures.

I guess I did not mention.....my wife, after I got out of the car (I was passenger) moved our new Ford Mustang about a block out of harm's way, just like a good little lady should.

Who ever said that Kilt wearing is boring?? It seems that Kilt wearers are the ones always there. Great story.

I wore my new Stillwater to the mall today too. Didnt have nearly as exciting a time. I had a good time, and I really love my new kilt but I didnt get to do any Incident Command while out kilting.

I did eat dinner at a chain restaurant out here called Red Robin, and their mascot is (surprise surprise) a giant Red Robin. Apparently the girl in the costume liked the kilt because she came by my table more than a few times, and made sure to be at the exit to wave us out as we left!

Anyone interested, go to www.northplattebulletin.com. It's the lead story. There is a photo, but no pic of me in my kilt. Maybe next time.

Might have been she was to busy oogling(sp)

the man in the kilt and nay paying enough attention to the road.

But seriously, glad noone was hurt.

Norbydog's tale of being called to duty in his kilt reminds me of a steam train run from Edinburgh to Aberdeen some years ago. There was a guy there in full highland regalia who played his pipes at each of the stops. After we got back to Edinburgh some of us caught the normal service deisel train back to Glasgow. Halfway there the train brakes seized and we ground to a halt. Turned out the piper was travelling on the same train, and he was an off duty train engineer and he crawled between the carriages in his kilt, sorted the problem and the train got underway again.

When I was taking Search and Rescue training, one of the instructors refered to some of us as "Doers" -- guys that can be counted on to just get in and get the job done.

I suspect that most of us kilted men are "Doers."
