Landmark "Hurled into Eternity"
Monday, May 10, 2004 - Well, well, well, here you are again. Just like I thought. I suppose you want to know what's going on in Tombstone, huh? Well, I'll tell you, not much. This past weekend (May 8-9), however, there was quite a bit going on. I arrived there about 2 PM by myself. I got a room at Tombstone Motel and then headed out in the hills looking for adventure, which I found. It wasn't the usual mining excursion, but still mining related. I went out to one of Tombstone's (formerly) largest and most impressive landmarks, the West Side head frame. This goliath wooden structure could be seen from many points in town, so it was easy to find! When I got there, I saw a crane attached to the top of the frame and men were working on dismantling the bottom of the frame built more than a century ago. This was all as a result of the dipshits at the Tombstone "Development" Company (TDC) deciding to sell the land that this famous head frame and two small tin buildings were on. A man I know named Andree DeJournett, who is currently running for Mayor of Tombstone, has his own company, the Tombstone Consolidated Mining Company (a resurrection from the past), and was offered salvage rights to the land. Given the opportunity, but not much time, the Tombstone Consolidated Mining Company, which I am proud to say I'm a volunteer for, went to work trying to relocate the head frame and the tin buildings. However, the Tombstone Development Company was only interested in one thing ... getting that head frame down ... by whatever means necessary. Well, they succeeded in that, if nothing else in life. One very magnificent head frame was hurled into eternity as the result of carelessness on the part of the crane operators hired by the TDC, which in my opinion should stand for Tombstone Destruction Complete. Those fuckers! In the span of a moment, they ruined one of the foundations of this most important western town. I hope they all rot in hell! No, I'm not kidding. I meant that. They can all go straight to hell, without passing GO, and without collecting $200. I hope they go straight to hell on a Huffy with no seat! Goddamned history rapists! I feel violated and so should you! The weekend wasn't a total loss, though. We did manage to save the two tin buildings. Those will be relocated to another location and turned into a living history museum, albeit without the monstrous head frame that was intended to accompany them. All that remains is shown below, modeled by my friend and Tombstone local, Carey Granger. What you're looking at is the top of the head frame, with Tombstone's courthouse visible in the background.
