Signs on the Post Office door
Each House Office Building has its own United States Postal Service joint, so it’s never a big deal to find one open when another is closed. Having said that, it’s a fun little game to play to walk past one at random times of the day to see if it’s open.
An attempt to put something in the mail today has turned into a little logic puzzle. Signs outside the closest post office indicate that:
• it is closed daily from 10:45 AM to 11:15 AM for “administrative reasons,”
• it would only be open today from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and
• it was currently (10:20 AM) closed but would reopen at 11:00 AM.
So I waited until 11:40 AM to head down there–in case they tacked that daily “administrative reasons” closing onto the end of the 11:00 AM reopen. Still closed, but with one of those little clock signs on the door now with the hands set for noon.
Or maybe midnight–who knows.
Maybe Brown can do something for me.
