Horse stands patiently in harness during the last snow of the season while its owner attends an auction of the former Mente Chevrolet dealership. This is a sort of cultural dissonance one encounters frequently in this part of the country. Those who know of the plain folk only from travelogues and their craft work, and maybe the movie Witness, would be surprised at how much interaction there is between their communities and the worldly folks who surround them. For example, agriculture is no longer the dominant source of income for our Amish and conservative Mennonite neighbors; they do home building, cabinetry, automotive mechanics and a number of trades; one fellow I met specializes in rebuilding diesel generator sets on his farm and another I have dealt with specializes in tracked vehicles repair.
