Two separate incidents of motorist hostility towards pedestrians spotted within a minute of one another, walking home just now. Neither against me (one vs. man in Utilikilt, one vs. woman in crosswalk) but still I was shaking by the time I got home, trying hard not to scream. Actually, still am, still am.

Mothafuckin heat better break soon. Or I will break its face.

BTW: Not to excuse anything, but wearing a Utilikilt does in fact make you look like a bloody dork. Probably you have long come to accept this, but just in case. I mean, free to be and all, but anyway.

In retrospect the hostile motorist did say "kilt" and not "skirt" or "dress", and the insulting portion of his utterance did not attempt to question the wearer's sexuality, so that's something I guess. Way to get the awareness out.

I love my utilikilt, but I rarely wear it in public.

Also, you're a girl. I dunno how that would change kiltish perceptions, but surely it throws some sort of skew in.

This is what I get for leaving downtown Berkeley

The internets are some educational. Never heard of them kilts before. Know what they are now. Yessir.

Oh, and Sylable-Inflation-Makes-It-Kewl Dept.: I missed the part on the Utilikilt website where they describe it as an "unbifurcated garment."

OMFG. The official cost ranges from $125 to $700. Maybe I should try to make a northern Maine version using a blue poly tarp and duct tape.

I would almost get one of the working ones, myself. Just because. If they didn't cost as much as an iPod.

Ah, cool breezes and blessed rain.

Yes, I am indeed pleased and surprised at my apparent ability to intimidate the weather with threats of physical violence. I'll have to keep that one in mind.
