ASHLAND — Twenty-six Amish who refused to pay their fines for violating a law that requires flashing lights on their buggies appeared in court on Friday.

Once there, Ashland Municipal Court Judge John Good ruled out the possibility of jail time for them and instead said he would impose liens on their real estate.

    Hey look, Ohio once again going the wrong direction, just like every city I’ve lived in does with bicycles.

    Cars keep crashing into bicycles/Amish? Penalize the bicycles/Amish! How dare they intrude into what has ALWAYS been the domain of cars.

    Man, fuck Ohio and fuck cars. If I could ride my bicycle to work every day I would.

          I’m more mid-ohio, myself, and the winters have gotten much milder than they were in my childhood, unfortunately.

          My dad likes to tell stories about him and his brothers driving on a local pond in their teenage years because it froze thick enough to do so.

          It hasn’t frozen over since I was in middle school.

          Depends…are you thinking of the east side or the weat side? The west side might not get any snow, while the east side gets a thick full 9 inches…
