Oh, not just rural.

Right here in Austin I have been asked if I am Amish or  if I was a 
pilgrim. 

I once even had kids run scared from me in the grocery store only to 
meet them again at the cashier's to hear them telling her in a very 
concerned and quite voice that there were...um..PIRATES in the store!

Once in Houston some kids with their pants falling off and their other 
weird clothes and acting really tough in their gangster wannabes told me 
how weird I was dressed. The lady behind me said it was not nearly as 
strange as what they were wearing. I shrugged and grinned. The cashier 
thought I was in a Christmas play, as it was the weekend of Stargate 
Yule Revel, I counted that as close enough.

I always give them points for pilgrim, that is close enough as I do late 
period English. The rest I just wonder about.

Hee Hee,
