Snail mail tail wind

I mailed my reply to Gov. Crist's response to my email on Sept. 29. The USPS estimated date of delivery was Oct. 1. USPS Track & Confirm verified "Arrival at Unit" Tallahassee FL on Oct. 3 and "Delivered" Oct. 4. I received the certified return receipt stamped received by OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR CITIZEN SERVICES today Oct. 5, 2010. I guess the snail had a tail wind out of Tallahassee.
