...and so many interesting people tp learn about! But then, when you stop and think a little, isn't it intriguing, in a way, that each and every one of these men were destined to accomplish great things? It was the time for it; they were there, the red carpet was rolled out, and they could do no other because the opportunities were just waiting for the next man. And they were 'the next man.'

I never miss a chance to steal a little of Wyatt Earp's thunder. When you 'fall into a bucket full of you-know-what and come out smelling like a rose'...well, you can't claim the glory as your own. Time and chance befall us all and Wyatt could not seem to avoid the silver raindrops that kept falling on his head; however, he was never the cause, only the recipient. And as he was not the brightest kid on the block, I assume he became a good listener, thus giving the impression he knew what was going on.

There was almost no way for Earp to miss association with all theses dynamic men (who probably didn't know they were such, as yet) as the frontier was flooded with them.

Just my usual musings when reading about Wonder Wyatt!
