"Lightening" was the first pony to carry mail for the Pony Express west of Salt Lake City. The first day she galloped into the first relay station twenty two miles away in only one hour and five minutes. That is 1 hour longer than it took my Grandma to talk the assistant manager at Wells Fargo Bank into forking one over, without opening a new account or an exchange of favors or money, because I'm 2 and I wanted one.
