"People wanted bigger weddings, newer carriages," Mr. Lehman says. "They were buying things they didn't need." Mr. Lehman spent several hundred dollars on a model-train and truck hobby, and about $4,000 on annual family vacations, he says. This year, there will be no vacation.

It became common practice for families to leave their carriages home and take taxis on shopping trips and to dinners out.

Some Amish families had bought second homes on the west coast of Florida and expensive Dutch Harness Horses, with their distinctive, prancing gait. Others lined their carriages in dark velvet and illuminated them with battery-powered LED lighting.

obviously, the credited question.

My sister met some a few years ago. Apparently, the Amish use telephones bc this teenage Am-ite exchanged numbers with my sis. I always thought that was cheating---the Amish using phones.

I believe Amish teenagers live irl for a year or so before making a decision if they want to live the communal life.

If you're going to put LED lights in your carriage, why not just get a fucking car?

wonder what they think about Kingpin? Maybe they just own it for the credited Blues Traveler song?
