    Over the weekend, here in the lovely city of Lancaster, I saw an Amish man winding down the sidewalk in an electric wheelchair. The first thing I wondered was which bishop had approved that. Definitely not Luddites.

    I liked the statement, regarding the amish heaters, where the one individual turned their thermostat down to 68 degrees and still their heating bill increased. My suggestion is to turn down the thermostat to 65 degrees, wear a flannel long sleeve shirt or sweat shirt, and then turn your amish heater on. Also open up the shades and let the sunshine in; surprising how much natural sunshine can warm up a room. Just be sure to let the shades down in the summer time to keep things a little cooler.

    That was a very interesting article, glad you pulled it out. We had also noticed in an increase in advertising in some of the magazines we have received.
