DEADWOOD: 135 YEARS AGO TODAY

Wild Bill Hickock was playing poker at the #10 Saloon in Deadwood, on August 2, 1876, when Jack McCall walked through the front door and shot him in the back of the head.  After that there wasn't much excitement in town until I blew in 83 years later.

I also noticed, on the calendar, that Peter O'Toole and Angela have the same birthday.  He's 79 today.  That surprised me.  I thought he was older than that.
