I find it interesting that the Amish are being pushed out of Lancaster County by developers. Someday it will probably just be another ho-hum suburb of Philly. <br><br>Meanwhile, I find it odd, but some young Amishmen actually have pagers and cell phones...supposedly only for work, but I kinda wonder how the local elders justified that? And yes, the local Amish around here DO hire out as roofers, builders and handymen. <br><br>They also have gasoline and steam engines, even tractors (but they can only use them as stationary power sources), some even have generators (but only in the barn). We used to see Amish women in Wal Mart all the time, not so much anymore because the state decided you needed a commercial hack license to transport them....But then there are also sects that say you can't even RIDE in a powered vehicle for any reason.<br>
