You can tell the teenagers who are doing the rumspringa thing.

They have a good time.   Drink a lot, find every cheap thrill possible, 
etc.   Do you know the lowrider lights that people put under their 
cars?  A lot of the younger ones do that to their buggies around here.  
Premaritial sex is actually encouraged. When she gets pregnant, they get 
married.

Its not unusual to have them drive down the road with boomboxes blaring 
at all hours.   They turn them down when they get in front of my 
neighbors house (Amish guy) then crank them back up when they get to my 
house.

There are more Amish on the road I am on, than English.  (Everyone who 
is not Amish is English, it doesn't matter where you are from)

I've seen some really crazy things, but they were here before I got 
here, so I can't complain too much.

Subversion Kills Productivity. Get off Subversion & Make the Move to Perforce.
With Perforce, you get hassle-free workflows. Merge that actually works. 
Faster operations. Version large binaries.  Built-in WAN optimization and the
freedom to use Git, Perforce or both. Make the move to Perforce.
