Did anyone get mail today?

My wife said mail was suspended in honor of President Bush.

She couldn't get some bank stuff done, and I was looking forward to getting some insignificant ebay model train stuff in the mail, but my hopes were crushed with this news....

Anyway, just checked my mail. The ebay stuff came in! I am wondering if first class mail was delivered, or if it was my local rural post office going out of the way to go one step above and beyond. In the past, they have been incredible, and I totally understand that might be an exception to the rule regarding many peoples' USPS experience.

If they made an exception, they deserve a big arse christmas bonus!

Did any of you get mail today?

Thanks, Everything delivered was first class.
I've got new driver wheels, traction tires, and new power for an old rivarossi HO steam engine. Big projects in model train world!
