Amish people keep phones, FAX machines, and answering machines in neighborhood phone booths like this one. I like it because it uses solar power. Families who live near the booth will share in the expense of it, but if the bishop asks, nobody in particular can be said to own it. And most importantly, this keeps the phones out of people's homes. If the bishop is happy, everybody is happy.Labels: Amish, Amish Culture, Amish-Country Mysteries, Holmes County, P. L. Gaus
