The day before, we went to visit the Shaker's village. It came as a shock when we learned that they were strictly celibate! I only knew that they shook when praying, which somehow gave me a false imagination that they might be good at copulation (guess I was wrong!). When adopted orphans reached 18, they were given choices to stay or leave. Most of them left. Obviously everyone likes sex and as a result, shakers pretty much have gone extinct now. But I actually thought of a friend of mine who might be the perfect person to revive the whole phenomena. I will have to take her there for a tour when she comes to visit me.
We do love the chairs they make. Have to find one on auction sometime.
