I'm a SoCal girl, and the first time I ever ran into "Blue Laws" was when my employer sent me to a training school in Texas. I was appalled at the things you could buy, and how many related things you couldn't buy! All the paper you want but no writing tools. Nails, but not hammers. Or something equally ridiculous as these examples. Sure was glad to get back home where I could what I wanted or needed when I wanted or needed it! Even on Sunday night!
I'd also like to thank the person responsible for the spelling correction in the subject header.
