Well, I'm in Indiana, east of Wisconsin, so I didn't have a whole lot of 
other choices.  Also, since it was a rental vehicle, extra miles (like 
taking I-294) counted more than the extra time.  Growing up around 
Chicago, I didn't find traffic that bad - though that might have been 
because I knew what I had just loaded into the back of my truck.  I 
rather enjoyed that trip back...
