never much cared to play the "freak the mundane" game that so many love .... 
tends to attract to much negative attention at times, and was always trained to 
dress for the environment to move easily within it.  usually found it simpler 
and more prudent to change into "civies" and made sure all steel was left 
secured before beer / food / supply runs.

being a "harley cynn" (grin), always enjoyed coming up with stuff that wasn't 
quite "mundane", not quite "scadian", but that served the environment (two 
wheeling) and could fit into both worlds but was not quite either ... 
"clothing" vs. "costume" (needs of reality vs/ theatrics ... a personal opinion 
/ perspective)

one of the draws of SCA, always saw value in the "current" and "creative" part 
of the SCAdian definitions .... produces good creative challenges, how to make 
the old ways fit in with the present / practical world.
