That's good..... One day of no mail delivery won't hurt any of us.

Really?? Did that happen when past presidents have died?

"Out of respect for the 41st President of the United States and to honor his vast contributions to our country during his lifetime, and consistent with the Presidential Proclamation," a statement on the USPS website reads, "the United States Postal Service will suspend regular mail deliveries, retail services and administrative office activity on Dec. 5."

"We will provide limited package delivery service on that day to ensure that our network remains fluid and we do not experience any impacts to our package delivery operations that might negatively affect our customers or business partners during the remainder of our busy holiday season," the statement continues.

Yes, this has happened in the past.

A sad reminder for those of us who remember his time in office.

But on a more positive note, I am sill working on driving over to get last week's mail so this will take some pressure off.

@Mom2Dogs.....Yes...."really". Don't know if it has ever been done for other deceased presidents or not....don't remember. But, this is being done out of respect.... Times are changing before our eyes.

I have much respect for President Bush....I was just 'really' not aware that the post office had closed in the past for other funerals.

I'm sure postal workers can use a day off at this busy time of year. They will probably have to make up the time over the weekend, when they'll be paid time and a half.

I was thinking of the postal workers too. They have got to be beat up and the true rush hasn't even happened yet. Nice to have it in the middle of the week for them too.
