Men in Black Spotted in Canton, NY

2008
May 3

Mobile units of the group sometimes refered to as Men in Black have been photographed on Main Street. Stake Outs next to a number of local gas stations have already been set up in what appears to be independent operations all focused towards the public.  They have made no attempt to blend in and have been seen negotiating with area citizens.

Sign of things to come?

I couldn’t resist. I was in juxtaposition to take a shot.

Horse drawn buggies at gas stations seem to be the theme.

Well what do you know. The theme is economic basket cases.

Q:  What do you get when you flood the market for baskets?

A:  A chance to catch up on some sleep.

Q:  If you drive to town often to buy a loaf of Fresh Baked Amish Bread and it ends up costing 10 bucks because of gas prices what road do you use?

A:  The Road to Ruin.

    I think before long we will all be reverting back to horse and cart as fuel prices rocket, it’s now the equivalent of $10 a gallon here.

    At least if we do their will be plenty of manure to go around your roses…

    Mark,
    What does the future hold?
    The Amish will become the new “Teamsters” of the trucking industry while the rest of us learn to bake bread in an oven fired by dry horse manure we bring home in baskets.

    Do you realize that the Amish do not like to be photographed? I’m glad you didn’t catch any of their faces. The are the best neighbors I’ve ever had. :0)

    MomofPJ,
    Yep, I know. That’s why you won’t find any photos of the people on my site. But their horses don’t mind.
