Josh just discovered tonight that North Dakota is one of the only states that enforces the blue law, which means that stores are not allowed to be open on Sundays. This includes WalMart, which is usually open 24 hours but Josh happened to be there around midnight when they announced that they were closing.
Previously, this law was strict: no stores could be open from midnight to midnight. But following a blizzard when no one could buy supplies, the law was changed in 1991 so that stores are only closed until noon on Sundays.
This affects me not at all since I don't shop on Sundays anyway, but it's pretty interesting.
