When I was a boy and young man, everything, I mean everything closed on Sunday in Pennsylvania because of the Blue Laws and things like sports, Baseball anyway, couldn't be played past 7:00 PM. But Wednesdays? Maybe it has to do with many churches having a Wednesday night service and they want people getting into the spirit.<br /><br />Larrynitewrithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03968271056094267260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8660581276521005822.post-5911400065969367642016-12-16T17:22:09.649-06:002016-12-16T17:22:09.649-06:00Okay, Ron - - I'm over f-f-f-fifty, but don...Okay, Ron - - I'm over f-f-f-fifty, but don't tell anybody.....Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02619128793632680659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8660581276521005822.post-84332090974643704662016-12-16T17:21:04.386-06:002016-12-16T17:21:04.386-06:00I don't think anything is open here on Saturda...I don't think anything is open here on Saturday - - except Walmart, of course.<br />Forty bucks a year???

I leave in s relatively small town in Alabama and merchants here cling to the old ways. Downtown is practically a ghost town on Wednesdays. I think it goes back to times of Mom and Pop stores. They closed at noon on Saturday, closed on Sunday and closed all day on Wednesday. Up until the early 1970's many places had "blue laws" which prohibited stores (other than select types) from opening on Sunday. Blue laws still prohibit sale of alcohol on Sunday in some places.<br /><br />Speaking of liquor laws and totally off topic... when I was a child in Mississippi, my father owned a liquor store. Selling liquor was illegal, so if you wanted to sell it, you had to pay a black market tax to the state. Seriously. That gave you the right to sell it, but no protection under the law. Consequently, local preachers had a habit of breaking into liquor stores and busting up the inventory. No repercussions to them from the law. Eventually the law changed and it became legal, but with major restrictions. <br /><br />Regarding your dread of going to town, I sympathize. I usually go to Walmart a couple of times a week. I have to build up to it mentally..... then allow for recovery time afterwards. It is its own form of hell.<br /><br /><br /><br />Business in the South is just weird sometimes.Pudge450https://www.blogger.com/profile/13096161371562249151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8660581276521005822.post-73445082270935742002016-12-16T10:47:10.497-06:002016-12-16T10:47:10.497-06:00I saw this and thought of you!

On to another subject, I don't envy you traversing those twisty mountain roads. I'm of to the local food store at least five times a week. Partly to take Bill out for his daily ride. Also, partly to take me out. Living in the mountains can be peaceful and serene but I need the conveniences of a supermarket (and WalMart) nearby. <br />Stay warm.<br />RonRonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161930319264523497noreply@blogger.com
