Corrected entry: Given that Doc is so concerned about influencing future events, why does he set up shop right in the middle of town (creating a lot of loud and noisy inventions) and attend town meetings, and volunteer to pick Clara up at the train station? He should be a hermit, living as far away from people and civilization as possible.

Correction: It seems like Doc doesn't really care about time travel anymore, and that in the old west he decided to start a new life. It goes along with Doc saying "Well, I figured 'what the hell'" in the first movie in response to Marty asking him about not influencing future events. To him at this point, it doesn't really matter to him.
