The "Why??" Question

[Riverkilt]

So I'm at Safeway after work. Lucked out and got a close parking space. Just loaded my groceries and am starting to get into the car when over by the shopping cart storage a guy I sorta/kinda recognize from somewhere shouts, "Hey Ron, What's with the kilts all the time?"

He's about 40 something, in local redneck scruffy dress, but his tone is friendly and a bit curious.

So I look at him a while as if thinking it through, then say proudly, " Comfort....Freedom....Wisdom....and Heritage..."

He just sort of looks like he's processing all that for a while, then nods at me, and turns around with a cart headed into the store to do his shopping.

Still can't recall where I know him from, but I seemed to have answered his question to his satisfaction.

Here's what I was wearing today.


USA Kilts semi-trad in Dress Gordon tartan. Stillwater brown leather nightstalker. Lewis kilt hose with traditional garter ties. Brown Z Coils, and the leather Orvis replica RAF mechanic's vest.
