Pony Express - Tumblr Posts

An old timey, wild western saloon under a bright, hot sun. An old man sits on a balcony, nursing a cup of moonshine. He blinks his crusty eyes, and leans forward, then shades his eyes with a hand. Far down the road, a dust cloud can be seen rising into the air, coming closer. He stands, and totters forward, craning for a better view. After a few, long moments, he spots it. A man on a fast horse, riding hard, headed this way.

"It's here!" he shouts. He knocks over his cup in his hurry to head inside. "It's here!" he repeats, as he hobbles down the stairs to the main room of the saloon. Travelers pop heads out of rooms, locals set down their drinks, and the obligatory piano player stills his fingers. "The Pony Express is a comin'!" shouts the old man.

People hasten to the door, where they see the rider pull up hard to the saloon, and dismount. He grabs the saddlebags off his horse, and heads inside, folks clearing the way for him hurriedly. He walks to the bar, and sets down the saddle bags heavily.

"From New York," he says, breathing hard. "Posted just yesterday." He slides several boxes from the bags, placing them side by side on the bar. Everyone is crowded around, desperate to see. He opens the first box.

"They call it 'pizza,'" he announces. Inside the box is a fresh, steaming hot pizza. He quickly opens the other boxes. Each contains a pizza with different toppings. "Dig in," he says. Everyone cheers.

from your current location how quickly could you approach and touch a horse

Alicia's home, by the foyer, yard has a wide paved path. Foyer floor lifts, Horse with huge shipping cube races down. Path goes down, now it's a mountain. Horse gains way, I dodge. Her home hasn't much furniture or décor. Came in to garage, saw the horse, black w/white diamonds on legs and white star on forehead covered by postal hat. Takes clipboard w/ postal invoice in mouth from saddle. Signed with my initials & star glyph. Don't even know what I or Alicia got on a box bigger than either us. As I opened it, flash! Dunno if it's mower or gardening shed
