It's All in the Delivery
Dewey's Nemesis. Effing Fed Ex.
If you're a rider on a young tall horse, and you're riding next to the road, Fed Ex will find you.
Fed Ex will test your skills at staying on and controlling your horse when he turns and tries to run the other way.
I don't know if Dewey got a bad package once. A letter bomb. Some sort of hate mail. Because when he sees Fed Ex he knows DANGER.
Fed Ex has the biggest, whitest, rattliest trucks on the road. Fed Ex is not going to slow down. They are Federal EXPRESS. They are in a hurry.
Young thoroughbreds do not enjoy a big rattly white monster coming at them at 45 miles an hour on our road. I always put my cowboy blinders on and scan the road for the white monster. The delivery hell. Delivering me from my spinning and terrified horse to the hard ground. I keep a watch.
You can hear me mutter, out on the trail, when I see it coming.
F**cking Fed Ex...
And turning my horse into the nearest driveway or getting off and making space. Dewey can do space between him and the evil. Just can't do bearing down, rattling, speeding, white vision of hell.
We never wave at FedEx.
On the mountain, with Fed Ex at a safe distance, Dewey thinks. Someday. I will get a delivery I like.
