    Oh, heck. Once I saw your size, I was no longer worried about you.

    And you're right, I did something similar by wearing a kilt early on to a couple of the "roughest" places I thought I'd ever get into: the hardward store, the Home Depot, a Tex-Mex restaurant, and the local red-nck joint.

    It's really a great little conversation starter.

    BTW: is that a Robertson Weathered? Or maybe a MacKenzie? Whatever, it looks good.

    And that's a fine looking little fellow in the photo, too.

    Well done man! Especially like the lipstick comment. Some serious stones to pull that one off, for sure.

    Thanks for the comment on my boy, Sean David (Moose)! It's the MacKenzie weathered and I like it a lot

    Would this be Kenosha? Now, what ethnic group might that be? (You don't have to answer.)

    Worse, Waukegan/Zion Illinois. Kenosha's WM isn't much of a big thing compared to Waukegan's.
