I haven’t gotten my mail yet (CO too), so hopefully I will have better luck. What area of Colorado are you in?</p>
<p>Nothing yet down here in FL. But driving through this crazy state takes so long so I’m not really surprised we haven’t gotten the letter in the mail yet.</p>
<p>Nothing in Houston, TX… But wasn’t really expecting it since my aunt lives in Pitt and sends us some things every now and then and they have never ever arrived in <=2 days.</p>
<p>I received the letter here in the bay area.</p>
