Kilts, pants and habituation

[McGurk]

Once I have a few kilts in my wardrobe, I'll start wearing them more regularly, for the comfort factor. for the moment, my kilt is for special occations.

I'd say its easier to go from pants to kilts then vice versa as moving to a kilt is a reduction in stimuli. Habituation is a well known fact, I do martial arts on an off, and it always hurts when I get back after a break. After a while, the aches and pains fade, but we all (at the club) know they really go away, you just get used to the beaten-up feeling.

I try to wear my kilt as often as I am allowed, but I still wear jeans everyday. Maybe I won't soon, once I acquire a few more kilts.

Well, your professor has it correct for sure. You can give him my example...it is all too common for me to forget to zip up when I wear pants for some reason. Got out of the habit of zipping up with kilts. Pull the garment on and go....

Yes, I'm olde too and pretty much drank the majority of brain cells away over years of taste testing alcoholic beverages in the interest of consumer science...but I think its more the change in physical routine than it is early dementia....at least I hope....maybe...could be either....

Point is that its become embarrassing to show up somewhere panted and realize there's a draft and have to find a descrete way to zip up...

One more reason to stay kilted.
