Omega Man - How to make the best use of church attendance

There's a particular time of the week when a sizable chunk of the population just kind of,,, disappears. The breakfast eateries have no lines. The grocery store aisles are clear. Traffic on the streets is almost post-apocalyptic. Peace and quiet and ease of travel abound. Just like in the classic, Omega Man, when Charlton Heston found himself alone in the world. Ah, the joys of a Sunday morning!

Sure, many of us like to use these Sunday hours to chip away at our sleep deficit, but even after getting up late, it can be a sweet pleasure to experience the world with a large percentage of our fellow travelers safely out of the way in their churches. Try it sometime.
