Hipsters repaint bike lanes in brush off to Hasids - Brooklyn, NY

Nope. Great idea. A day when people rest, and can't shop, and meditate? How on earth can millenia of human activity just be 'wrong' cos IKEA and Tesco want to sell more stuff to us? How is it that a rest day has just disappeared in the last 20 years due to 'pressure' from retailers?

Shame on us.

We observed the Sabbath growing up. I think it was very therapeutic for my mom. Not so much for us kids though who were always running around trying to keep quiet. It is the quiet I remember the most, no TV, no driving, no radios, no music.
