Pony Express Day

Remember that time when mail was delivered by the Pony Express? I hope you don't because you'd be very very old.

It all started back in 1960 before the start of the Civil War. It was the first and only fast mail service running into the American West. The route started in St. Joseph, Missouri, and ran to Sacramento, California. The route still exists and many tourists travel the road to see the abondoned stations along the way.

Today, the term "Pony Express" is trademarked by the USPS so I hope they got my form for the express written consent to use the phrase.
