JG2, well my other escape option is heading down South again and patrolling the borderlands....so I am weighing altruism against self-indulgence....at this point it's a dead heat...which makes me doubt my integrity and morality some.
I have a dear friend in Florida literally applying to law schools just to escape the South, but then, other than Atlanta, I've pretty much avoiding going that direction.....Arizona is about as Red a state as I can handle and even this is only barely tolerable...
