| Amish? Nah. |
One of the more interesting things about the new LaGrange County Library in northern Indiana is the all Amish Furniture. The solid wood furniture was made and sold by Weaver Furniture Sales, an Amish business since 1989. Is this odd? Well, hell yeah it's odd, especially if you have a sheltered view of the Amish like I do.The Amish are supposed to be all back-to-the-pilgrims, ignorant and innocent of our strange mechanical and electrical ways. Why the hell do they know what computer desks are for? Have you seen their website? There's poker tables and CD trays in there. What the hell, Amish people? You make good furniture, but I held you to higher standards than that. This is gorgeous furniture, but man, I don't need that kind of culture shock! And why the hell is there a website?!
