Best, Joao Carvalho I doubt that it would be Wisconsin, that being a quite progressive state in general. Kansas is possible, but I would rather suspect one of the southern states. There are many archaic laws still "on the books" in many states (some states prohibited one from taking a bath on any day except Saturday and there are others which still do not allow certain products to be sold on Sundays); but these laws (often called "Blue Laws") are simply no longer enforced. The United States, as you may know, was a "puritan culture" in its early days, and some of these laws have hung around until now. Best, Bob ********************************************** Robert A.
