Today is the 125th anniversary of the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral. For those of you whose only reference to the Gunfight is Hollywood - let me tell you, the O.K. Corral looks nothing like it did in Tombstone or Wyatt Earp.

If you ever find yourself in Tucson with some time to spare, I highly recommend a trip to Tombstone. The O.K. Corral and the Boot Hill Graveyard are must see’s.

    I’ve been there. Speaking of anniversaries, yesterday was the 591st anniversary of the Battle of Agincourt, when the heavily outnumbered English defeated the French with the English longbow.

    What!? The English needed weapons to defeat the French!?!? Wouldn’t just one quick bitch-slap do the trick?

    I was stationed at Fort Hauchuca briefly in 1965 and had a chance to visit Sierra Vista. Very interesting place. I’d love to go back, I imagine it has changed a lot in 40 years.

    My mom just bored, I mean wowed me with three CDs worth of pictures including Tombstone. Now I never need to go to Arizona! :-)

    I can’t wait to get out there to Tombstone. I’ve been close - Tucson - but didn’t have the time to make it to Tombstone. So much history…
