Beginning in 1860 the Pony Express operated like a giant relay race between the Missouri River and the Pacific Coast. Along the Oregon Trail, through Forts Laramie and Bridger, around the Great Salt Lake, riders carried the mail through a wilderness infested with hostile tribes. Their mounts were Indian ponies, nearly 500 altogether, kept in relay stations 15 miles apart.
The Hollenberg or Cottonwood Ranch House , built in 1857, is said to be the only original and unaltered Pony Express Station still in existence. At every few stations, like this one, a new rider took over. Day and night, summer and winter, over sun-baked plains and icy mountain trails, the schedule was maintained. After only 18 months, and with a remarkable record of only one mail loss, the Pony Express was replaced by the trans-continental telegraph line. A brief but romantic page of American history became the victim of modern technology.
Near the Hollenberg Station is a new Visitor Center with interpretative exhibits, operated by the Kansas State Historical Site. It is also a part of the Pony Express National Historic Trail, and has been designated a National Historic Landmark.

NAME
cowsay/cowthink - configurable speaking/thinking cow (and a bit more)
SYNOPSIS
cowsay [-e eye_string] [-f cowfile] [-h] [-l] [-n] [-T
tongue_string] [-W column] [-bdgpstwy]
DESCRIPTION
Cowsay generates an ASCII picture of a cow saying something
provided by the user. If run with no arguments, it accepts standard
input, word-wraps the message given at about 40 columns, and prints
the cow saying the given message on
standard output.
To aid in the use of arbitrary messages with arbitrary
whitespace, use the -n option. If it is specified, the given message
will not be word-wrapped. This is possibly useful if you want to make
the cow think or speak in figlet(6). If
-n is specified, there must not be any command-line arguments
left after all the switches have been processed.
The -W specifies roughly (where the message should be wrapped.
The default is equivalent to -W 40 i.e. wrap words at or before the
40th column.
If any command-line arguments are left over after all switches
have been processed, they become the cow's message. The program will
not accept standard input for a message in this case.
There are several provided modes which change the
appearance of the cow depending on its particular emotional/physical
state. The -b option initiates Borg mode; -d causes the cow to appear
dead; -g invokes greedy mode; -p causes a
state of paranoia to come over the cow; -s makes the cow appear
thoroughly stoned; -t yields a tired cow; -w is somewhat the opposite
of -t, and initiates wired mode; -y brings on the cow's youthful
appearance.
The user may specify the -e option to select the appearance of
the cow's eyes, in which case the first two characters of the argument
string eye_string will be used. The default eyes are 'oo'. The
tongue is similarly configurable
through -T and tongue_string; it must be two characters and
does not appear by default. However, it does appear in the 'dead' and
'stoned' modes. Any configuration done by -e and -T will be lost if
one of the provided modes is used.
The -f option specifies a particular cow picture file
(``cowfile'') to use. If the cowfile spec contains '/' then it will
be interpreted as a path relative to the current directory.
Otherwise, cowsay will search the path specified in
the COWPATH environment variable. To list all cowfiles on the
current COWPATH, invoke cowsay with the -l switch.
If the program is invoked as cowthink then the cow will think
its message instead of saying it.
COWFILE FORMAT
A cowfile is made up of a simple block of perl(1) code, which
assigns a picture of a cow to the variable $the_cow. Should you wish
to customize the eyes or the tongue of the cow, then the variables
$eyes and $tongue may be used. The
trail leading up to the cow's message balloon is
composed of the character(s) in the $thoughts variable. Any
backslashes must be reduplicated to prevent interpolation. The name
of a cowfile should end with .cow, otherwise it is
assumed not to be a cowfile. Also, at-signs (``@'') must be
backslashed because that is what Perl 5 expects.
COMPATIBILITY WITH OLDER VERSIONS
What older versions? :-)
Version 3.x is fully backward-compatible with 2.x versions. If
you're still using a 1.x version, consider upgrading. And tell me
where you got the older versions, since I didn't exactly put them up
for world-wide access.
Oh, just so you know, this manual page documents version 3.02 of cowsay.
ENVIRONMENT
The COWPATH environment variable, if present, will be used to
search for cowfiles. It contains a colon-separated list of
directories, much like PATH or MANPATH. It should always contain the
/usr/local/share/cows directory, or at least
a directory with a file called default.cow in it.
FILES
/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_textproc_cowsay/work/destroot/opt/local/share/cows
holds a sample set of cowfiles. If your COWPATH is not explicitly
set, it automatically
contains this directory.

Behold the Bamboodu Theater -- a portable puppet show for political rallies, civic events and art shows.
I created this street theater experience to engage people of all ages to help change the world through civic action.
Our first scene features Lady Liberty and Mr. Trump, illustrating the eternal fight between hope and fear through animated puppets, visual gags, news tickers and music, powered by Arduino.
The Bamboodu Theater will be on exhibit at Artworks Downtown in San Rafael from April 14 to 28. We also plan to show it at the Tax March in San Francisco on April 15, at Marinovators in the College of Marin on April 22, at the Climate March on April 29 and the Mill Valley Memorial Day Parade on May 30.
I’m very grateful to all the gracious collaborators who helped me create the Bamboodu Theater: Edward Janne, Phyllis Florin, Mark Petrakis, Geo Monley, Jean Bolte and our friends at Pataphysical Studios. Special thanks to Angelique Benicio for inviting us to premiere it at Signs of Hope, her political art show at Artworks Downtown in San Rafael.
Not sure if its a game, or superstition or what. Many of the riders would arrive at sign on, then check the number on the back of their jersey before signing on.

This is a picture of an "at" sign made from artist Larry Kagan. The shadow comes from iron modeled and soldered with a masterly direced light.
ok yes I know its a very bad photo... I took this at the station while waiting for my sister. About 10 people were standing round the exits smoking but I couldn't snap more of them because quite a few were looking at me (it was late, I just threw my (knee length) coat on over the (floor length) nightdress I was wearing and pulled my boots on. I don't care!). the best I could do was try to look innocent and snap this guy with my phone.
In case you can't tell:
Left: guy on bike smoking looking at sign
Right: no smoking sign
lol!
