The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!

Rules for guests in the Old West
Another interesting piece of historical information provided by the St. James Hotel in Cimarron, NM (which I reviewed yesterday) was this sheet of house rules from its early days. It made me both laugh and shake my head. Click the image for a larger view.
I'm not sure how authentic some of those rules were, but they certainly have the flavor of the Old West. As L. P. Hartley observed, "The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there."

Not terribly authentic, but they are funny.
How could you not like the rules.
