MS, I won't wax pedantic about observance. Try looking for the fun or interesting.

The polar opposite of WallyWorld, visit an aircraft museum. We're lucky enough to have one nearby with the Spruce Goose, an SR71, and a hundred others including WWII military craft. On weekends and holidays several veterans man displays who're happy to talk about their experiences. Sure, some are dry, but the good stories are golden. Those guys are dying off at ~1000/day so the opportunity is passing.

Quite a few of these places around the country. Just googled this <a href="http://aeroweb.brooklyn.cuny.edu/museums/pa.htm">small list for PA</a>.

I agree though, traffic sucks. Shouldn't these people be at work?
