      Meth, Amish, and the Klan. Oxford is like the result of some demented game of cosmic Mad Libs.

        No different than where I live, although it immediately brings to mind, I never see any buggies or horse or mule in the store parking lots, so how did they get there?! I doubt they walked, that would be a few days’ walk.

          Amish people can hire people to drive them around. Amish contractors sometimes have their own trucks, and use them to interact with the English.

            Alternate theory: they figured out teleporters and keep horses mostly to trick the English into thinking they have nothing worth colonizing them for, but also to keep their buddies in the buggy industry in business and because they like horses. Mostly that last one but the other two reasons are still important.
