I am thinking our project has been compromised....any update?

I sent it to the Great White North last Thursday.  I don't know the details of the Canadian Postal strike and how it will/might impact the arrival time of the gadget.

The world wonders.

My mistake.  I sent the gadget on it's way on Tuesday, the 7th of June.  Again, I don't the details of the Postal Strike.

The details of the bolshevik infiltration, err, postal strike are as follows...

Rotating strikes, a different city or two every day for the past week. (So mail could be delayed a whole day - imagine my shock!) On Friday, Canada Post declares that due to the decrease in mail volume, they only plan on delivery service three days/week for the time being due to lack of work for their unionized employees. Doesn't side like much of an order of battle to me, it is obvious to me that neither side has a proper Field Marshall in their employ. I haven't noticed that my junk mail is any later than usual...

Meanwhile I have sent one of Manny's spies my cats down to the local clearing station so I will know asap when the Ho arrives.

Hopefully the spies have not intercepted the gadget...and hopefully Nat Geo has not gotten wind of it or they will be running a special on it.

Too late.  Got in the last 30 minutes of one they did with Norton Aircraft.  They built a 1:1 model to test radar reflection.  Wish they'd re-run the episode.
