He is, I was just giving him grief.

I'm a bad person for this discussion, as my only real commute is rolling over, and turning my laptop on to sell online. Of course traveling to ship packages might count, I don't know. I do take care of things around the house as well.

LOL. A friend of mine who is an airline pilot used to live in DFW and be based out of New Jersey. He had quite the commute, but has since moved to RDU to split the difference.

About 20 minutes on foot. 5-10 by bike. 3-4 in the car, 5 if I miss the two stoplights

Anyone else taken note that our president has a cripplingly long commute to objective reality?

No you don’t. You steam when you’re stuck in traffic.

I enjoy commuting on my bicycle. Unfortunately in my current digs I haven’t found a safe route. Winter also has a way of diminishing a scenic drive and after you’ve driven a scenic drive a few hundred times the brain essentially stops noticing it.

So i’ll go with my five to ten minute commute and pocket the money I’d be spending on a car.

About 20 min. for me, all the while watching out for deer (I hit one a few years ago

).

Lots of ducks, deer, fox, and other wonderful forest creatures...of course we're only about a mile from the woods

Ride the bikes everywhere....though the afternoon trips haven't been quite as pleasant with this heat....We're on a first name basis at Roll.....lol

Corn fields along the road are far more dangerous because you can't see wildlife until they're on or just off the roads, shorter crops, not as bad, but still difficult to see in the dark morning hours.
