Code of the West
|
In an earlier Blog I mentioned learning of the KISS Principle
as a young man. I was a very lucky guy, in my opinion, as my forbearers
were hard working, survivor types during the depression years. We
children were taught to live our lives by keeping it simple, always be
fair in dealing and work for personal rewards. Your word was to be your
bond.
Being cattle feeding farmers, Dad traveled to the West and
bought cattle to finish for market on the Iowa family farm. I traveled
with Dad, rode horse back on roundups (there were no four wheelers in
the “40s), slept in a bed roll in the cow camps out on the range.. I
worked with Cowboys and lived the life of a Cowboy. What an experience
for a boy just starting teen years.
Zane Grey was a popular
author and wrote about the Code of the West. While the Code was largely
a collection of un-written slogans, saying and quotes, a condensed copy
hung on the wall in the guest bedroom at the home ranch in Montana.
I
recently came across a copy of the Code which kindled memories of those
days in the West. It had a message that would be neat to be read and
lived by every politician currently serving our great country and for
that matter, all of us. I quote it here.
Code of the West:
Live each day with courage. Take pride in your work. Always finish what you start. Do what has to be done. Be, tough but fair. When you make a promise, keep it. Ride for the brand Talk less and say more. Remember that some things are not for sale. Know where to draw the line.
Happy screening,
