So it's again not so predictable! I guess we will see the effect of being in various locations and the outcome on mail service. I am in Killeen area so it should not take to long for a letter to go 60 miles or so...I will be looking at the mail box for sure come Monday. Then if it goes as quick as my background check seemed to go I will be seeing it with my Christmas cards! 
only kidding! well then we shall wait...
