    At the gas pump

    Heading home the North Texas Irish Festival today (yes they let Scots attend and even put up clan tents), and had to stop and get gas at the Pilot station in Waco. While filling up, there was a black couple on the other side of the pump, and when he saw me still in my kilt he "Hey, Scotland right?" I replied yes, the kilt is Scottish. His wife asked if there was a festival this weekend. I told her not here, but I am heading home from one in Dallas. They both agreed that the kilt was cool and wished me a good day, and pulled away. Then I hear from behind me, "Is that a kilt?" I turned around and another black guy had pulled in behind me. I said yes, it is a kilt. He told me he didn't mean to be rude, but wondered why I was wearing it. I told him I frequently wear one when meeting friends for dinner as it is a comfortable garment, but today I'm wearing it because I'm return home from the North Texas Irish Festival in Dallas. He replied, that's great I have a friend that wants one, but doesn't know where to get one. I told him that there are several places he can buy one, but mine was made by J. Higgins in Kansas. He then asked if I knew what snap chat was? I said yes, I know what it is. He then wanted to take a picture, so I agreed. He said he was posting it today with the title, "killing in the kilt." n
    Can't say I've ever had anyone wanting to post a picture on SnapChat before. Interesting time at the gas pump today.
