Quieter commerce

  A beautiful fallish morning today.  I noticed that many stores normally open on Saturdays were closed for the long holiday weekend.  The quiet was inviting. The old "Blue Laws'' that kept stores closed on Sundays and holidays had the benefit of encouraging  a weekly stretch of reflection beyond the allure and demands of commerce.
