Terry Klysz is still pedaling away; now in West Palm. But it's Sunday and he'll have to dismount for the day in observance of Paramus' Blue Law. He'll spend the day with West Palm Manager, Keith Och. These two have been with GS for over 8 years and have a lot of catching up to do. Keith's got a bunch of baby pictures to show Terry and Terry has photos of this beautiful Border Collie that needs a home. Puppies and Babies! What a way to spend a Sunday."A blue law is one restricting activities or sales of goods on Sunday, to accommodate the Christian sabbath. The first blue law in the American colonies was enacted in Virginia in 1617. It required church attendance and authorized the militia to force colonists to attend church services.
Contrary to popular belief, there is no evidence to support the assertion that the blue laws were originally printed on blue paper. Instead, the word blue was commonly used in the eighteenth century as a disparaging reference to rigid moral codes and those who observed them (e.g., "bluenoses"). "
