The Gunfight at the O.K. Corral occurred at about 3 P.M. on Wednesday, October 26, 1881, in Tombstone, Arizona Territory.   The 128th Anniversary is tomorrow.  Tensions still exist between Clanton/McLaury supporters and Earp fans. 

I've been to Tombstone and stood on Fremont Street at the scene of the shootout, and I've read a lot about the fight. Still can't quite make up my mind about who was more to blame or in the right.  The politics that infected the reporting, court hearings and later accounts have blurred the lines.  One thing for sure--we're left with more myth than reality.
Lunarian, n.  An inhabitant of the moon, as distinguished from Lunatic, one whom the moon inhabits. (Ambrose Bierce).  Which one are you?
