How to Be Cool in an Amish Buggy

Something I didn't understand about the Amish is they don't reject progress altogether but they do reject anything which will alter their lifestyle.  That means it's ok to jazz up their buggies with improvements so long as they respect the consideration about those kinds of alterations in their lives.  (Lancaster Online:  Amish buggies are more high-tech than you think)

The picture shows a buggy auction and a new one may sell for about eight grand.  Buggies may have a surprising assortment of extras.

Automotive-style brakes and tubular-steel torsion bar suspension.

Some of them even have propane heaters and maybe that smacks of hypocrisy to you but we think it's brilliant.  The Amish maintain a lifestyle which many hippies admire but they probably don't cotton too much to blowin' the ganja.

Son, did I not teach you the value of money?

Yes, sir, but I also learned the value of ganja!

(SWAT)

Note:  I have no idea if that's how it actually plays and it seems ganja might even be ok with them when it's just another crop and no-one processes it in any way after it's harvested.  Just dry it, roll it up, and smoke it.  Have a happy Amish day!
