Gas Prices Drive Man to Commute by Horse
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050905/ap_on_fe_st/horse_commute

Jim Jundt was so determined to rein in his spending on gasoline that he got out of bed early and rode his 14-year-old quarterhorse mare to work. He said he and his co-workers had been talking about rising fuel prices, and he joked that he would ride his horse to work if gasoline ever hit $3 a gallon.

His co-workers laughed, but when the price at the pump soared to $3.20 last week, Jundt headed for the barn.

And I've been wondering what the Amish are thinking about these high gas prices. Are they smiling to themselves do ya'll reckon?

I've wondered about the mules and carriages you see (saw) in the Quarter; where they used to evacuate desperate people?
