locally NRDs shut down building in flood zones
dug the creeks deeper then added levees to the ditches
added dams and resulting lakes to just about every waterway under their control
they continue to plan and build dams...similar to a tiered defense
pissed a lot of folks off but the annual floods don't happen any longer

Originally posted by bertwert Ya, kilts are bloody expensive. I've got one borrowed from cadets, but I don't like it.
When I stop growing I'll get myself a good kilt.
I've thought of getting a Utilikilt for every-day wear, the other option is a Sport Kilt:
Stylish, Comfy Modern Kilts for Sporting & Relaxation buy a pattern and sew one up
a side of upholstery leather or a few yards of cotton duck is quite affordable
in your case kill a grizzly or an elk and bob's your uncle
we do have a local carpenter who wears a kilt, usually leather
