For my Dear Readers who may not have heard of the Moose Express, it's the northern equivalent of the famous Pony Express, a top-speed transcontinental delivery service of news between the continent's east and west coast communities. It had its heyday in the early 1860s before it got overtaken by the much faster (and cheaper) transcontinental telegraph system, as pioneered by Samuel Morse (1791-1872).
Of course, if you don't live "in the fast lane" and don't require immediate information on the latest accident, conflict, disaster, fashion, politics, etc., perhaps you can live just as happily with getting your news by the Pony Express (now well past its "best before" date) or the Moose Express (ME).
To fully understand the benefits of the ME, let me mention some of the unique traits of this giant of the northern landscape.
