HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE
Since this is a drinking kind of holiday, and I seldom drink alcohol. It's also a kind of holiday that folks stay up until midnight, but I'm usually in bed before 10. It’s also a going-to-parties kind of holiday, and I'm not a party-goer, feeling that a room with more than four people in it is a situation I avoid. So there's just not much for me to do on New Year's, so I do what I usually do: hunker down and wait for it to be over.
It's obvious to me that most people don't feel the way I do because the loud music coming from the saloons on Main Street started about lunchtime today and has gotten louder as the day goes on, which I assume will continue until tomorrow morning.
I guess this is a special occasion for the Main Street saloons because I normally don't hear any music playing after dark coming from the saloons, and remember, I'm only a block or two away from the main street, named Allen Street. But I think the saloons are allowed to do whatever they want on the New Year's holiday, and since some people enjoy that type of festivities, I certainly won't complain.
I've stayed away from Allen Street today, leaving it to the partyiers, but I think I'll walk up to Main Street tomorrow morning and see what's left of the town. It has been so crowded that I would like to take some pictures of deserted streets instead of throngs of people. I would also like to get some pictures of the sun coming up over the town, but it's so cold at that time of the morning that it's hard for me to wear enough to stay warm.

Someone looks a bit like a young John Travolta, maybe from the ''Welcome Back Kotter" years. Of course you can do a lot worse than looking like John Travolta.
I don’t want to stay in a room with a built-in ghost or ride around in a hearse, especially with Boot Hill being only a few hundred yards away.
This dangerous-looking hombre is giving the old boondork the stink eye! It looks like one of us will be leaving town before sundown…..I hope I’ve got time to stop at the gas station before I leave.
The Birdcage Theater and a stagecoach are both ‘‘real deals’’. The Birdcage Theater has been In Tombstone just like this since the 1800s. And the stagecoaches are built just the way they were back in the old days. The only difference in this scene in the 1800s would be four horses pulled the stagecoaches on flat ground….usually six In the mountains.
