We saw horses wearing coats here in NW Florida last week. I guess cold is relative.

Was in Syracuse for training in the 90s, mostly with fellow Canadians. Happy hour was a foreign concept to us as much as it was foreign to our hosts to run out of beer. First for everything! Good times!
The local Amish came from Ohio in the early 50s. They have their own schools, language, churches and way of life - all farmers and entrepreneurs, a helpful bunch where everyone works hard. They know their barns and roofed our garage with metal - looks great. Patio Hindu Kush intrigued them as did the garden plants.

I was raised in an Assembly of God church. What I learned was God is hard of hearing. Speaking in tongues is a misnomer. It should be shouting in tongues. Anyway I got a lifetime's worth of religion by age 13.
I've interacted with quite a few (mostly young men) and all so far seem to be very balanced, intelligent (though a bit naive at times) folks. I think they might have something lots of us might be missing. Community.

Hundreds of Amish carpenters have been working to build cabins in Western North Carolina where many people are still using tents for shelter. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . “Hundreds of Amish...
