A minor fender-bender I witnessed while out taking photos. Interestingly, someone took photos of me leaving. I’m not sure why.
No apparent injuries, no EMS on scene. One officer on sight, and one drove by. There seemed to be a large amount of people affected, but not hurt. ~P.
Have you indulged in the Discovery’s Channels “reality tv” series Amish Mafia yet? If not, what the heck are you waiting for? This show has a little bit of everything for everyone. Unless you’re actually Amish, then you shouldn’t be watching.
The program is full of contradictions about how the Old Amish Sect functions. Obviously none of the characters are truly Amish or they wouldn’t be on the program. Also, the main characters use cellphones, drive, and other no-nos. All that aside, the blend of scripted programming along with the “slices of life” that are genuine-they’re aren’t faking getting arrested- the whole program is just cray-cray.
Esther, who has blocked me on Twitter, is apparently doing well for herself with this series. This isn’t her first rodeo–or maybe, sewing circle. I’m told she is doing well enough to co-sign for her ex-boyfriend to buy a new car back in July. Mirkat and Esther are not a couple, but apparently still close enough that she would co-sign for him. Strange, since not that long ago, she said he was abusing her physically. Oh the Amish drama! I thought the pair made a striking couple. The song “Ebony and Ivory” just popped into my head. Esther likes her meat dark, ya know? (A reader pointed out that this sounded extremely racist. Just to clarify, Esther tweeted she likes her meat dark. I can’t access her account anymore but, trust me, she did.)
Another thing that interests me: Esther claims the Amish pay just as much taxes as the “English” to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and government. That kick-up a bit of a shit storm online as most people disagree. What about sales tax on vehicle purchases? Just kidding, I’m sure Mirkat paid for all that.
The scenes in Amish Mafia are priceless, you don’t know if you should laugh, cry or get pissed off. At times, I do all three.
Will Freeman speak? Will Esther give up sewing circles? Will Levi ever fall for scripted love again? Will Jolin take his shirt off soon? Will Merlin pull a shoo-fly pie out of his ass?
Time will tell.

Letters he never learns from
Dear John,
I knew your text that Tesla wanted to stay there over the weekend was bullshit. When I asked Tesla what she did that was exciting over the weekend, she said “Nothing really. We went swimming. I got bit by a mule yesterday.” As I opened the door to Rutter’s, taking Tesla in for lunch after the briefest of meeting with you, I was preparing myself to hear the truth, straight from a seven-year-old.
“I thought maybe you did something special since you didn’t want to come to my house this weekend.” I said.
“I didn’t say that. I’d never say that, Mom.”
“I tried to call you but your dad didn’t answer.”
“He said I didn’t want to come? Cause that’s not true.”
“He sent me a text.”
“Let me see it.” she said while we were eating sandwiches, so I handed it to her. She opened my messages and went right to your name listed as “John the Man” which she finds funny, by the way. I scrolled down for her, because there were many texts from me to you. And, I showed it to her, and she was pissed.
You remember when she had me send you photos of her being silly in Rutter’s? Well she wasn’t being silly in the last photo. She was pissed because she just realized you lied and put words into her mouth that she never said. She was mad enough to tell me to text you that she never said that.
Nothing like being called out by your kid. Ouch.
Now, why is Tesla on some farm, getting bitten by a mule on her ankle and there was no adult in sight?

Suddenly, not so happy. She looks more like you when she’s angry.

These vintage vehicles begged to be photographed. I couldn’t resist; the owners weren’t home, but I left my card in their door.

Loved the look of this old Mack Truck!!
Enjoyed these old car photos? Check out my junkyard photo shoot here—–>http://girlboxer1970.com/2013/03/05/junkyards/
Thanks for stopping by my blog! ~P.
On my second trip to my friend’s cabin, I made a stop at this road side station to check out the fire truck. It’s a Mack truck and while I didn’t look for an exact date, I’d guess it is from the 1960’s. If I’m wrong and someone knows, write it in the comments! 😉
The old pumper truck is in bad shape. If someone had intentions of restoring this once beautiful truck, now wrecked and rusting away, they never got around to to.
The vintage Pepsi machines and gas pump was cool to see also.
