Glad to have you back Benjamin!

The "lines" that separate them aren't very clear, anymore. Most of the ones in around places I've lived constantly have internal "uprisings" about whether or not certain things should be done the old ways, or done the "ways of the English."
I like the way they live, but I don't think I could do it myself... most of it, but not all. I love electricity. I kinda like my cars/horseless buggies too.
I do admire their work ethic, though. I've never seen a 14YO kid help raise a barn until I lived near Amish country.
Ben, is everything alright with your car now that you've had the problem "solved"?
