I belong to the New Pony Express – I make U.S. mail runs from LA to Texas and Idaho. The original Pony Express riders would load the mail pouches into their saddlebags and ride at full speed until the next mail station, where they would change horses, maybe have a quick bite to eat, and then ride on again at full speed. That’s what we do, too (except we usually don’t change horses). The work can be exhausting and dangerous at times, usually thanks to the weather, but for me it’s a noble occupation. There is an almost patriotic sense about it. It’s expressed in the postman’s motto: “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.” So “saddle up!” and we will take a ride together. So “saddle up!” and we will take a ride together. Along the way I'll also share some stories about my flying adventures and some stories about this adventure called Life.
