A few links of interest from around the ole interweb:
Christina Davidson of the Atlantic comments on consumerism, recession, and Amish life while dropping in on the Dover, Delaware Amish. She also describes a good example of how change happens in Amish communities.
48 Days to the Work You Love author Dan Miller makes an interesting observation on hay bales and Amish innovation on a trip to Holmes County, Ohio.
And, for any Italiophiles out there, my friend Andrea Borella has a book out, “Gli Amish”, the first book on the Amish in Italian.

Those were great articles – I always like looking into how others deal with things like the rest of us, and I have to say the comments on that one article certainly kept me occupied for quite some time! Wow. I always like the comments that just say things like, ‘You people need to get a life!’ – yeah, like they don’t. That’s just too funny to me. Have a great day ~
I agree Beth–sometimes it’s hard not to fall into the ‘comment trap’ on blogs, and start reading people’s back and forth battles and insults.
Seems too frequently you run across a lot of negative stuff–things people would never have the courage to say in a face to face situation, but which they have no trouble writing in comments or emails. Another example of the impersonal manner in which people communicate nowadays, I suppose–and I guess you do just have to laugh at it!
