What’s The World Coming To?
Y’all, this is sad. The world is going to hell in a hand basket.
It seems that an Amish horse and buggy were stopped by police in Ohio at 1:00 am on Sunday.
It was pretty much your regular horse and buggy, except for the fact that it had a stereo system blasting loudly and “a 12-pack of Michelob Ultra that was settled atop the buggy.” In other words, it was souped up and pimped out.
As soon as the cops stopped the buggy, the men on board took off running through the nearby trees.
While the men ran into the trees, the horse continued down the road, police said. The horse and buggy were eventually caught. The buggy was towed while the horse was turned over to someone who can take care of it until the owners come forward.
It apparently was not an Amish delivery service because several empty beer cans were found in the buggy.
We live in troubling times.
Thanks to Carl for the heads up.

1They should have let the horse walk home, then they’d know who had the buggy!
2Too true Grandma Horses are usually smarter than the people using them!
3Foot stompin’ old timey string band on the stereo, or urban rap?
4O/T Looks like it’s a wee bit damp around Houston this morning:

5These two bootleggers came up with the perfect plan — disguise themselves as Amish farmers while delivering their goods.
Two problems though:
61] They failed to research the finer points of Amish culture.
2] They didn’t get the memo that alcohol has been legal for some time now.

On another note, try and stay dry JJ & all. What’s the elevation of your new house again? Got plenty of tuna and peanut butter?
Yeah, I’ve been wondering what kind of music they were playing, as well.
Maybe it was Cash…
7If they had just left the horse hitched, he’d probably have gone home.
8Yeah, it happened not too far from here. They just get an elder to identify the buggy’s owners – the Amish know all their neighbor’s horses and buggies. Kids get fined. Next time they are more discreet. Unfortunately Amish kids are targeted by the local druggies too.
9The stereo is fairly common around here but putting crappy light beer on top of the carriage is frowned upon. Our Amish drink good, locally brewed beer from the Cafe.
