We have to make sure that they have the right ri worship in a manner that they choose, BUT...we do not have to allow that right of religious freedom to interfere with laws and customs of our municipalities, states, and fed. The law says ya gotta use an SMV sign...USE ONE! ...or don't use the road. What is annoying here is that they don't even pay any road use tax...ya suppose those horse shoes do any pavement damage? I am a farm boy so not particularly disgusted by animal waste, but nothing more annoying than driving through a pile of fresh horse schnit after ya just washed the truck...I am required by law to clean up my dog schnit when I walk her in certain areas, why shouldn't they be reqiored to stop and clean up their horsey poop? Blah, blah blah on their right to the road while it's a privilege for us to drive...obviously it's a privilege for them too that can be lost by not following V&T laws. What people don't understand about the Amish is that they can vote to change whatever rule they want (Church Elders can anyway) and they use the system: They can ride in vehicles but not own ant, they can hire work done by rubber tired equipment, and they can use phones and other devices, just not their own. They also like to make their own church driven laws and punishments and ignore "English Laws" (any goverment law) and here is a good example of one: Get caught using alcohol and face excommunication from the church for one year. Bugger your Daughter or Sister though and face a 2-6 month excomunication! My buddy had an Amish family buy the farm next to his in Northern Pa. a few years back; soon after they moved in they knocked on his door and asked to use his phone, he let them, the frequency increased and never once did they take off their boots prior to tracking in. Within 2-3 months they would just walk into the house to use the phone uninvited...never knock and never offered to pay a cent despite long distance calls.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
