Great To Be Alive, Literally

Colma is a town on the peninsula, between us and San Francisco. It's most famous for having more dead residents than live residents, due to the number of cemeteries. I learned in this article in the SJMercury today that Wyatt Earp is buried there. Apparently, it's somewhat of an Earp groupie destination, and yesterday they were honoring the actor who played Earp on television many years ago. Mildly interesting, I suppose. What was more interesting to me was Colma's city motto: "It's great to be alive in Colma." I guess they rejected "People are dying to live in Colma." Catchier than "Climate best by government test," I have to admit.
