The mail truck just drove by, delivered a package next door and left again.

Most federal offices are closed.

My mother was going to mail some packages at the post office then remembered it will be closed. Tomorrow.

Regular post office deliveries were suspended on the day of mourning for JFK (1963); Eisenhower (1969); Truman (1972); Johnson (1973); Nixon (1994); Reagan (2004) and Ford (2006).
