Re: Store Hours

Well, it seems that in upstate NY that religion does not write the law.

BUT in "The Old Dominion"  alias Virginia there is still a great battle 
between church and state going on.  When I left Virginia Beach, Virginia
two years ago it was still illegal for most stores to be open at anytime
on Sundays.  The battle cry for continuation of these laws was:
"Let's keep Sundays for families"  (or something like that).  


As a member of that venerable Armed Service which took me out to the 
salty limits of the globe (when "deployed") and kept me on board the
ship for 1 out of 3 days for the entire 24 hours (i.e. no going home)
it was not amusing to be on the ship Saturday and then be unable to
buy the necessities of life on Sunday.  

I was glad to leave that state. It's pretty but it sure could use some
enlightenment into the ways of the 20th century.

PS: What OTHER state in the Union is in direct violation of the Soldiers
and Sailor Relief Act?( which says that a state where a service member is
ordered to cannot tax the service member's income if that member is a
citizen of a different state)
