According to Wikipedia, “A Blue Law is a type of law designed to restrict or ban some or all Sunday shopping for religious standards, particularly the observance of a day of worship or rest. Blue laws may also restrict or ban sale of certain items on specific days, most often on Sundays in the western world.”

Well, today Amazon announced that it has made a deal with the United States Postal Service to begin delivering packages on Sundays in New York City and Los Angeles, with Dallas, Houston, Phoenix and most other major metros soon to follow. It's good news for the USPS, but bad news for FedEx, and the old Blue Laws.

I admit, I'm old enough to recall the Blue Law days when “everything” was closed. Sunday was truly a day of rest and for the family. Today every store is open, no matter what they sell, no one rests, families are disconnected, and now, we can look forward the mailman's delivery of whatever Bezos has to offer.
