Here’s what I wrote on this topic, back on May 11:
“Tombstone should advertise a special on “Heritage Green Energy Adventure Holidays”. For a reasonable fee (affordable for champagne liberals everywhere), you could travel (you arrange that part) to Tombstone, stay in specially priced (much higher price, just for you) historic hotel rooms, and use heritage tools powered by green energy (conversion of a layer of your fat into useful energy) to repair an eco-friendly hydration system (no plastic bottles involved).”

If I could get paid, I’d absolutely go and stay until everything is finished. If that means becoming a resident for a while, I’ll be happy to change my address to something not in New York.
