  We had a few who were more than scruffy.
  Usually this dealt with someone on a reserved lot selling a parking space
and pocketing the money.  Space was sold on the number of slots on that lot,
be it 15, 50 or 500 spaces.  Some lots had numbered spaces with a correlated
parking permit for that lot/s

   After the game he came up to me, apologised, he was wrong-I was right,
doing my job, etc.

   I hope to make it to Gettysburg this year, then turning west and back
home.

  Yeah, it was held in the eastern panhandle near DC.  
  There were several hundred of them who flew from Sweden to, I think, the
west coast, then had huge motor coaches that took them on a tour of the
country.  This was their last stop before the DC area (about eight hours away).
  They were a good group of kids but mischievous among themselves.  One
thing someone in their group did was change the wifi password and those kids
were lost without their social media.  :) 
   I learned from one of the adults they were doing things like that all
the time.
