Thanks to all for your tips! I made it safely and quickly and ticket-free, despite having an arrest-me red car ...

Saw Second City in Chicago on Friday night and then my sister and I drove to South Bend on Saturday for the Notre Dame/Air Force game :cry: Liked the campus a lot, but boy, things have changed. Everyone was so .... sober. When I was in college and we had a big basketball game, we were all drunk when we showed up. That way, when you fell off the crowded bleachers, you didn't get hurt.

Yeah, I wonder if the crowds at the Penn State games are sober now.

Nah!

It was mid-day and I missed all the rush-hour traffic. Yeah, that was it.

Made up for it on the way home, though. Missed the Cleveland exit for the I-80 and I-90 split. I wanted to show my sister the sights of Cleveland from the expressway (the store where they filmed A Christmas Story, R&R Hall of Fame etc.) but all we saw were ... trees. We ended up 30 miles SOUTH of Cleveland and saw got a "local" tour.
