From the USPS website:
WASHINGTON, DC – There will be no regular mail delivery or retail services at Post Offices on Tuesday, Jan. 2, 2007, as the Postal Service is closing to observe the national day of mourning for President Gerald R. Ford. The decision follows an Executive Order issued by President Bush that independent federal agencies close as a mark of respect for the former president who died Dec. 26. Express Mail deliveries will be made on Jan. 2. Regular retail and delivery service will resume Wednesday, Jan. 3.

I heard that it will be closed. So no mail delivery after tomorrow until 2007 January 3. In the past, whenever a president or ex-president died, about a week later, a national holiday is proclaimed for mourning and the funeral. This is going to mean a big mail delivery on the 3rd. What is so unusual about this is that Ford died in the gap between Christmas and New Year's Day.

There is nothing on the Post Office web site (usps.gov) yet indicating that they will be closed on January 2nd for the national day of mourning. If they are closed, that will be three straight days without mail service, which would be very rare, and a nightmare for postal carriers on the 3rd!

People, please research something before you post your dumb answers. Usps.gov has a large headline in the middle of the screen that Stevie Wonder could see saying the offices are closed Jan 2nd. And please understand that unless you are on a ship or boat, flags fly at half staff.
