There is a Mennonite sect up here that is very similar to the Amish
- and they too are VERY industrious. They crank out all kinds of components on high tech computerized machines - all run off a deisel generator which also functions as the central heat source inthe winter.
I remember a JHS school trip from NYC to the Amish country in PA. We were sternly told that we were not allowed to take pictures of the Amish.
I was quite the rebel in those days and would not be denied. I sat on a bench, put my Kodak 126 cartridge camera on my lap and pointed it at an Amish family. Snap, slooooowly, quietly wind...Snap, slooooowly, quietly wi nd...Snap.
2 of the 3 pictures came out perfect. The third one had decapitated the family.
Only egg "carton" I saw for many years was the "flat" that held 1 gross of eggs and fit into the crate shown in the original picture - or more often a double one (side by side) that the eggs went into when they came out of the nest
