On Thursday, the lady at our post office said government offices might be closed, but no "official" notification yet on whether or not Bush would declare a day of mourning.

Tuesday is a national day of mourning. All government offices including the post office will be closed. Wall Street will not be open. Offices in most states will be closed, although some states will have their governmental offices open, such as Minnesota. Schools - that's up to the individual school districts, just like city and county offices.

President George Bush has declared Tuesday, Jan. 2, 2007, as a national day of mourning for President Gerald Ford and has ordered federal government offices closed.
All federal employees will be excused from duty for the scheduled work day on Jan. 2, except those who cannot be excused for reasons of national security, defense or urgency of public business.

On Tuesday, January 2nd there will not be mail delivery, and the post offices will be closed.
I was under the impression that the entire week would be one of mourning, not just the one day.

Federal government offices and most state government offices will be closed. In our city, a few of the departments will be open (and aren't they happy campers!).
