What's with the Amish?

15. The Amish are more modern than you think

Yes, they don't drive cars and all dress alike, men have beards and women were bonnets, but there are many Amish roofing and building crews around where I am. They use modern tools powered by electricity. They shop at Walmart and other stores. They have non-Amish drivers to drive them for deliveries of their cookies, produce, etc. While they can and do make furniture (it's beautiful) to specific measurements, they make and stock standard size cabinets and drawers to mix and match and use standard hardware.

The Old Order Amish are different, though. They follow the strict protocols of their religion and culture. They do want to have their picture taken as they believe that's the sin of vanity. These, I believe, are the non-voting Amish.
