Jebediah, Medford, WI, April 2005 Posted by Hello


This is an Amish man who was sitting on a pile of things at an auction. He sat there for quite a while, barely moving. I felt sort of guilty taking a picture of him- like I was mocking him somehow. Now I look at his picture and admire him... he's so calm. Doesn't appear to be worried about anything. He's in a state of Amish Zen.

How long had he been sitting like this? Did anyone think to check his pulse?

A good 20 minutes... He was breathing, so pulse is assumed:

Airway
Breathing
Circulation

Hmm. I wonder what an Amish defibrillator looks like?
