like many here, my grandparents go back to a time when my dad’s grandfather—postmaster at the time—occasionally had to deliver Wyoming County mail by horse and buggy when the backroads were too snowed in for those new-fangled motor contraptions. (and no, wyoming county is not in Wyoming, ironically enough). My grandmother fondly remembered her younger brother, my Uncle Ed, riding a horse to school when it snowed, and yes, schools were still equipped for kids who came by horseback (I think his graduation class numbered six kids, though he wasn’t there because he was a fucking genius who went off to become an electrical engineer when he was sixteen).
