Cold Weather

Ya know the post office's motto?

"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds"

Except this makes the fourth day this week my postman was AWOL. I'm old enough that I remember when the mail used to be delivered on horseback, and this is the first time in my life I can remember the postlman missing more than just a single day's delivery. Never before two days in a row. This week presently stands at four no delivery days.

In fact I just came from downtown and saw a guy on horseback. Man riding a dapple (western pleasure?) mare with a rebel flag do-rag tied on his head. Neither him ner his horse seemed to be to be particularly impressed with the ice and snow.

Maybe the post office needs to revive the Pony Express. Then the damn mail could get through. And create a new cottage industry at the same time (picking up post office horse shit off the street).

You are old enough to remember mail being delivered on horseback? How old are you?
