And speaking of John Hunt Morgan, I pass his statue nearly every day on the way home from work. His horse was a mare, yet the statue's sculptor believed that "no hero should be atop a mare," and he added a couple of things to its undercarriage. It is not uncommon for local rogues to paint the bits 'n' pieces, sometimes in UK blue, in protest, although I haven't seen it done in quite a while.

"No hero should be atop a mare"... hmmm. I'm too much of a lady to make a joke about that one.

I just consider myself lucky to have a ring side seat... do carry on... ha ha

Well a lil bit of good / fun news, found myself what appears to be a decent Black Watch kilt. Research showed me this tartan is "fair game" while the quest for another one continues! Besides it looks pretty "bad ***" and my friend in England who was in the RAF and stationed up in Scotland told me it was a "proud tartan and certainly appropriate" well was good enough for me!

Should be here in a week or so, still have "lots" of missing pieces for a "proper outfit" but am working on it!

Talk to yall in a bit,
