Hauling Ass
During a recent trip on the back roads between Quarryville and Strasburg, PA, I saw an Amish man going exceptionally fast toward me on a kick scooter. He was standing straight up, wind hitting him in the face and bending the bill of his hat backward. I soon realized he had an electric powered scooter which had him traveling at about 50 MPH!
The next day, I was researching motorized kick scooters and how they were retrofitted. The motors and retrofit showed them being locally built in Intercourse. Due to a number of reasons, among which the church is no longer embracing their use, the manufacturer has unfortunately discontinued production. However, several stories from Amish about riding them was shared with me by men and women alike and the fact that no safety gear at all is worn while riding at the exceptional speeds.
The field corn was starting to turn in the early fall months and the area was desolate inspiring the alien cow abduction warning sign and a hidden alien in the corn field. The alien just adds another level of whimsy to this fun image.
