Lots of Amish in our area. They do fine at 10 mph. If things really go to pot I might have to consider a pony cart. I wish my lot was bigger to have more pasture and a small barn.

I guess the next step down would be a goat or dog cart. Better than walking everywhere at my age.

I'm lucky to live rural like we do. At least we will have that option where someone more urban might have it worse.

Reminds me - I should probably be looking for some bicycle wheels to squirrel away. I'm afraid the government might be pushing us that way.

When I'm in that area, Shipshewana is my favorite place to visit. A lot of people might have to go back to that lifestyle.

Sometimes I think the Amish are a lot smarter than we are!

There's lots to be said for anything that is simpler. We have made life too complicated.
