Here’s the question, from loyal reader gtie:

Why were local Post Offices closed on Saturday?” Friday was a holiday and Saturday was a regular mail day with delivery. Went to the Arden PO Saturday and there was a hand written sign stating it was closed.

Asked this morning and all I got was a “don’t know, they have never done that before

Anybody got an answer?
