While we are free-associating, I recall Old Tucson, a movie set and tourist attraction there which ran a gun-fight on an Old-West Main Streetdaily until the pandemic robbed the place of visitors. I hear its starting up again.70 miles south west of there is Tombstone where an ACTUAL gun fight took place - the gunfight at OK Corral.It is a small town, and though we stayed there overnight, we were glad to high tail it back towards the copper mines near Tucson.The people all seemed rather strange, which led us to uncharitable speculation about in-breeding.
As it turns out, in-breeding is the human condition, when as generations pass, current gene contributions would exceed the entire World population.
Another  copper mine with an evident aura 600 km north east of Helsinki was at Outokumpu, Finland - not far from Dr Savinainen at Kuopio. The miners breakfasted on raw fish at 4:30 am as I recall,   and the atmosphere was sharpened with acid fumes (but perhaps my mind  exaggerates the memory). I was there to rig a very early network, as primitive as they then were, using two asynchronous serial links to connect two minicomputers.This site is now apparently a tourist attraction; 'The Old Mine'
