    Engine Suddenly revved and speed dropped, then recovered

    Be glad you didn't come. Final crowd number was three quarters of a home football game but traffic control was less than a women's basketball game. Traffic was at a standstill all over town. ICE protesters talked early in the week to have demonstrations and block traffic. They didn't have to...

    Penn State/Michigan Hockey on the TV now. 70,000 tickets sold, tailgating began this morning at 7 am. Outside temp was 7F. As someone who was a season ticket holder for PSU hockey for many years in the past I would love to be there but my wife said no way.
