meinfs,

Congrats on handling a bad situation in a positive manner. Keep it up! Coming from a relatively small town with alot of good ole' boys, I am somewhat self-conscious when kilted. But it's usually just strange looks and laughs from teenagers. One time last year, I was stopping at the Smoker Friendly and there were 3 rough looking characters (You might call 'em rednecks) putting a case of beer in their pick-up truck. I thought to myself "here we go." But to my surprise, they just nodded to me as I walked into the store. When I came out they were still there and one of the gents said "Roddy Piper." I must have looked at him strange and he explained "Yea, Roddy Piper. He used to wear one of those." I said "Yes, Rowdy Roddy, yes he did." To this he said "more power to ya." I said "have a good one" and we just waved and went our own ways.
