Tombstone

[Hostile]

I'm headed to Tombstone in the morning for a friend's wedding. Upper chambers of the Tombstone Courthouse. Kind of a cool place to do it if you ask me.

I've always wanted to grab one of the Tombstone movie posters. They sell them everywhere there. I think tomorrow is the day I finally do it.

I wish I had a bolo tie to wear for the wedding. Heck I don't even have a pair of boots any more. Suddenly I am feeling very unprepared for such a wedding as this.

Seems a pretty cool setting for a wedding if the bride and groom are for it, as they apparently are... I agree.

"Tombstone" is still one of my all time favorite Westerns. Seriously... all time. Just a great, memorably entertaining flick.

Haven't been to Tombstone, AZ yet. Hope to go sometime in the not to distant future. My son has been there and told me it's not an all-day thing, but worth the time to visit and see the sites.

We were in Tombstone earlier this year. Color me unimpressed. Very little in the way of historical value, plenty of cheesy shops selling cheesy artifacts and trinkets. Too bad. I loved the movie, and the town is an important piece of history.

Oh it is pure tourist trap. No doubt. I still enjoy it.

off topic a little. I read a book about characters from the west. One they named was the Doctor in Tombstone. His name escapes me at the moment. They told a story of a cowboy who got hung right on main street by a vigilante mob. Apparently he had killed someone in Bisbee, stood trial and was acquited. He promptly skeedaddled to Tombstone and this mob followed and strung him up.

This Doctor, realizing it was a precarious thing, walked up tot eh hanging body and said, "Why this man has expired from a lack of breath." That was how it was officially recorded on his death certificate too.

Times have changed.

Tombstone is like Roswell, a tourist trap but still worthwhile to see once in your lifetime. That spaceship shaped McDonald's cracks me up every-time I see it.
