Seriously, out of possible 365 days, why did his visit have to fall exactly on September 25th???? Did Pope and Tim conspire together or something?? Rumor has it that NYC might block USPS deliveries during his visit. Not sure about UPS or other courriers.

The pope says..........

Does anyone really believe that this is just a coincidence?

The Pope has been very vocal on income equality. And at one point mentioned the universe (which could also be interpreted as the "Galaxy").

Mere coincidence? I think not.
 
So my phone did make its way to me today as scheduled. Arrived a little before 11am. My neighborhood doesn't even seem to be affected at all. Matter of fact it's quiet and the roads are wide open to vehicular traffic.

Hope others who are in the affected zip codes see similar luck today. Hang in there folks!
 
Got to the door but turned away? Sorry to hear that.

It's okay, it wasn't a surprise. The pope is visiting the building I work at, and earlier this week my building said they would not accept any packages today.
