Okay so I saw this article in the news-leader this morning. I just think its plain awesome. That is what i call being a good neighbor. Naturally I start wondering “who paid for the material” and “what if they were thinking about rebuilding a different kind of house, or in a different spot”…. but these people were all about helping out in spectacular style and didnt get caught up on that stuff. I think most of us would be too hung up on details to do something like this, or to even receive something like this to some degree. Amish people are cool… they built my parents house (though not for free). In my opinion they are genuinely good people. Yes, I don’t understand why they aren’t allowed to have a car but are allowed to hire a full time person to drive a car for them, but that’s beside the point. Quirks aside, they are awesome, respectful, honest, and they speak “pennsylvania dutch” (which i think is actually german, not dutch) when they think no one is around.
Other Amish Facts:
1- They don’t wear wedding rings – they grow beards.
2- They make really good bread.
So…. props to those people for rocking. Way to be a good neighbor.
Last night I went and played mario party at joels for a bit. It was fun. At least this time I got a star. I can dig mario party because even I can somewhat compete with people who play video games all the time.
