A public "thank you" to the Scottish Tartans Museum

I would also like to thank Scottish Tartans Museum. I just learned two new words "vagaries and vicissitudes". Excellent work on helping a fella out of a bind and so quickly.

But do you know what they mean and when to use them?

Yes, here is an example:

"Owing to the vagaries and vicissitudes of life my new doublet failed to arrive in time for this year's Tartan Ball in Washington DC."

And you think me an idiot!
