A note on the Amish

I assume that if you're reading this, you're not Amish.
But I'd like to express my amazement at their capabilities. I think that it's remarkable that they still use horse and buggy, and horse and plow.
We went up and down some steep hills with an Amish horse and buggy. We met in passing them, a family on a buggy or wagon. There's a sign on the roads to let you know that there will be horse and buggy. But you can also tell Amish farms by the fact that there is no electical lines or telephone lines going to the farmhouses. Some of them are pretty large with alot of acreage to cover.
They wear plain black, brown, and white clothes and the men have beards. The kids play in the front yard. It's remarkable.
