Seen on I-70 in eastern Indiana on our holiday weekend road trip:
\nAn Amish family of four – complete with Papa’s beard and wide brim hat, and Mama and 2 teenage daughters in their white bonnets – driving a late model Buick LeSabre with Kansas plates.
\nI know that some Amish are more strict than others, but after passing a couple in their buggies on Missouri gravel roads on Saturday, it was a little surreal seeing them doin’ 70 MPH in a large GM quasi-luxoliner, I’m sure with power windows and locks, AC and cruise control.
\nIt also strikes me that “Four Amish in a Buick<\/strong>” is a good name for a rock band. Or maybe “Big Amish Buick<\/strong>” or “Amish Buick Daddy<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
