Amish

I am not a fan of stereotypes of anything and love proving the incorrect ones untrue. There's a perception that Missouri Amish families cannot use firearms, but the truth might just surprise you.

Like many in northeast Missouri, I live near many Amish families and greatly respect their faith and approach to life. I was under the impression that they were adverse to all kinds of technology, but I'm apparently wrong as Missouri Amish are apparently able to use computers - sort of. It's rather complicated.

It's not a great commentary on our current society, but when you think about it, there are very few things you can absolutely count on. These things are an exception. There are at least 5 things you will never see a faithful Missouri Amish man do no matter what.

We have many wonderful Amish communities that thrive throughout Missouri. Not many outsiders fully understand their lifestyle or their traditions, but there are new insights into surprising rules that Amish women in Missouri absolutely must follow.

I tend to watch a lost of disaster movies which probably explains why I find subjects like this fascinating. If a lethal solar flare were to be unleashed by the sun, where would you be most likely to survive? The answer? Missouri and the reason why is fun.

Do you have a desire to have a rustic getaway in Missouri? How do you feel about the Amish? If both of those can be answered in the affirmative, I've found the perfect place in Missouri that is really in the heart of Amish country - horse and buggy included.

Somebody's heading to town in a mighty big hurry. There's new dashcam video that shows a crazy drift move by an Amish buggy. Yes, an Amish buggy...drifting.
