ROOPHLOCH Entry 1, Amish Country (zaibatsu), 09/03/2019 ------------------------------------------------------------ Below is entry #1, I hope to do a few more, to get me out and about! ============= Device: Cheap android phone Location: Near Versailles, MO Connectivity: No cell reception, no wifi Data Entry: On-screen keyboard ============= No internet access, out in Amish/Mennonite country near Versailles, MO. Figured it would be a great time to meet the ROOPHLOCH[1] challenge! We drove out for the Dutch Country Store (to replace that 50lb bag of wheat that was lost[2]), and to have fun looking at shops. Stopped at a little store with craft supplies. They only took cash or check, but mentioned that if we didn't have those with us we could take our purchases home and just mail a check. You don't get that kind of trust at many businesses these days... Now we're at another shop with school supplies. The coolest thing to me here are the wide variety of hourglass timers, in 30sec to 15min. I guess if you don't use technology as much, you still have to have some way to mark the passage of time!
