Blue Daddy Got Home In August
Isaac's "Blue Daddy" is finally home.
Isaac was very excited and somewhat anxious.
He was running laps around his parents and Cheez at the airport. I think he was so excited he didn't know what to do with himself.

The Cowboy Code
Gene Autry created the Cowboy Code or Cowboy Commandments in response to his young radio listeners aspiring to be just like Gene:
1. The Cowboy must never shoot first, hit a smaller man, or take unfair advantage.
2. He must never go back on his word, or a trust confided in him.
3. He must always tell the truth.
4. He must be gentle with children, the elderly, and animals.
5. He must not advocate or possess racially or religiously intolerant ideas.
6. He must help people in distress.
7. He must be a good worker.
8. He must keep himself clean in thought, speech, action, and personal habits.
9. He must respect women, parents, and his nation's laws.
10. The Cowboy is a patriot.
The Old Salt thinks these are ideas are as valuable now as they were when Gene Autry wrote them years ago.
