I remember hearing stories of the Pony Express, the postal system that the US used prior to the US Postal Service. They bragged that they would bring the mail, rain or shine.

When I think of the early developments of towns and cities and the huge numbers of people who lived on farms with their nearest neighbor 20 or 50 miles away, and then think of the mail carrier galloping over mountains and through forests and crossing rivers to meet the expectations, I'm in awe.

I learned penmanship in grade school. I graduated to 'adult' writing somewhere around the fourth or fifth grade, practicing cursive. Now they're considering removing the cursive writing part of the public school curriculum completely. It's archaic.

No one sits down to write a letter with pen and paper, then waits for 2 to 6 months for a reply. It's not necessary. With the invention of the telephone, many messages could be exchanged within minutes of thinking up the topic.

I think the students in those fourth or fifth grade classes are bored because they're forced to learn computer skills, which they already knew before they ever began attending school. They don't need to use cursive anymore. They have computers that share not only instant messages, but also instant information. Gone are the days of sending a message in a bottle and the Pony Express.

News travels fast. I'm part of that process. I'm glad you make time to read my version of the message in a bottle, my blog.
