While Amish do not drive cars, they are allowed to ride in them. I actually know a guy that is the equivalent of an Amish uber/taxi as a side gig. Anyway, so that's one option for how they got to the island. There are also special technology allowances with respect to business ventures.
Are you sure they weren't Mennonite? Certain Mennonite sects drive...
Certain Mennonite sects! Band name! Called it first.
With so many cats in the household, my clean laundry is a prime mark for an extended nap.
I am intrigued by your post. How many cats do you have? We had three in my house growing up (1 currently). Really we had two because one of them was just a terrible cat who hated all of us. If she could have worked a can opener she would have killed us all in our sleep. Other two were great.
Four at this time. All named for actors that worked with Cary Grant in films. Grace Kelly in To Catch A Thief, Eva Marie Saint in North By Northwest, Audrey Hepburn in Charade, James Mason in North by Northwest and Mary Brian in The Amazing Adventure. Eva and Mason are no longer with us. All were adopted from rescue groups, I had a significant other at the time whose days were spent mainly doing that.
Fellow Duke fans/alums hear Grant and Mason and think basketball...
I have family in the Shenandoah Valley in VA, so I am familiar with the Mennonites, and yes, I have seen them driving two-ton pickups. These looked waaaay more conservative. As for speaking with them, we nodded hello and said something to the couple on the trail about the muddy parts of it, and they were rather standoffish, so no conversation there. Like I said before, they could have been Mennonite, but they looked very conservative and not the ones to drive.
I pass the horse buggies on the regular, often filled with little children staring at the big cars with wide eyes. I wonder what it must be like growing up in that world. Not a lot of true true defections but there are some. We must look like aliens to them.
Helps understand the inspiration for M Night’s The Village, which was filmed not far from me.
I made a giant pile of wings on Saturday evening, which served for very tasty leftovers on Sunday evening.
As we settled in, my wife said, "Well, we're eating wings, we may as well watch the Super Bowl for a minute, right?"
I was quickly bored and distracted. We changed the channel. Tail tepidly wags dog.
KC felt the same way
We actually watched WandaVision, and now I need help.

I am driving 9 hours to Tampa from North Carolina today. It's going to be 80 and I am impossibly excited to eat outside.i see about a dozen lettuce wrap tacos from a cool place called Bartaco in my future. I have some friends who are Neonatologists down here who are taking me to eat seafood on the water tomorrow night.
