I am lucky with my commute, around 4 miles and 5-8 minutes depending on traffic and lights. I go home for lunch every day. Well, actually I go home to either see my wife or let the dogs out if she's not home. The great thing about living in a small town (other than the fact that I'm not in a MA and therefore am non-HMDA ) is that it doesn't take very long to get anywhere. Besides, who needs culture, entertainment, or a variety?

Rebekah,
I too was shocked by Ken's post, but only where he mentioned that he swerved for armadillo's. I never knew anyone who did that! Then, I realized that he was from Oklahoma. Texans just refer to armadillos as "speed bumps." Michenor put a whole chapter about them in his book, "Texas" and it's hysterical.

Now it takes me 5-8 minutes depending on whether or not I stop for cappachino.
When I lived in New Orleans, I went to an interview downtown at the end of Canal Street (yes, all the way to the river). Halfway into town (& 45 minutes later) I started wondering about this job. By the time I walked into the office, I had made up my mind, I did not want to commute 1-2 hours every morning, pay a fortune for the honor of parking 8 blocks away, and eat out everyday before trekking 1-2 back at the end of the day. I started my interview by apologizing for wasting his time, but that I was definitly not interested. He was a little surprised, but we had a nice visit about New Orleans for the next 30 minutes. Ended up with a 5-10 minute commute and the choice of going home for lunch everyday.
Loved Twilight Zone, Outer Limits, and Night Gallery. Does anyone remember Weird (looonnng time ago), I was in Houston at the time.

I have about a 10 minute drive in the morning and a 20 minute drive in the evening. I would love to live away from the city on Lake Michigan about 45-60 minutes north of Milwaukee. Close enough to downtown, even closer still to the nice golf courses.

And here I thought my commute was short. Carl, when I work at home I don't know that I get downstairs, past the coffee pot and to my den that fast.

I had to laugh out loud at that one. It takes me approximately 10 minutes when I take my son to school. Only 7 when I don't. I live in Indiana and worked in Louisville, KY for 22 years. When there's an accident on one of the bridges (there are 3) or it's snowing it can take hours to go 10 miles. I'm absolutely loving this!!!

My fiance lives 2 hours from Atlanta (Augusta). He has been in Atlanta during rush hour and says he'd never work there.

I live 2 miles away, or 6 minutes by car, 25 minutes by bus (not counting waiting for the bus to come time). I'm suprised every one lives close by to their job. I guess as a "city girl" I thought unless you lived in the big city, it was a hike to the job. I live in the "bedroom" borough so mostly everyone lives "here" but works "there".
