Back in the 90's I commuted daily from Joplin, MO to Fayetteville, AR. 84 miles each way, driveway to parking lot. Took about 1:40 each way. I'm glad those days are gone.

Hail might, but I haven't been in that situation yet.
Heh... I never run, but for me it is about a 30 minute walk. I have a free bus ride, since I have a UF student ID, but the buses only run every 30 minutes. But, it's just about the same for me. If it is a beautiful day, I'ld rather walk than ride the bus, and I have to flag the bus to not stop for me. If it raining, I put on my badge and walk it all. Besides, once I get there I saddle under a desk for the rest of the day, so this is often my only real exercise for the day. But an hour of walking a day keeps the doctor at bay.

For a couple of years it was 73 miles from my door to the work site. That coupled with night shift and average of 12 hour shifts made driving home a biatch. Ended up also renting a place there to save me the missing sleep time.

It's nice and efficient, too. If you can drive in 10 minutes or walk in 30 minutes, it's like you got 30 minutes of exercise with only 20 minutes out of your day.

I used to be able to walk to work. Was about 25 minutes. Was great.

Then my company grew to big and moved to a bigger location. now its 20 minutes in the morning, 25 in the afternoon. Miss that short commute/walk.

You win.

I assume living on that island is worth the bullshit you put up with. At least I hope it is.

38 minutes with NO traffic. 45-1/12 hours with traffic. 45 miles. Norman to Edmond.

Jack 01-18-2010 07:27 PM
About 57 seconds. . .depending if I preped the coffe maker the night before

I used to work w/ a chick who commuted to Olathe from St Joe. I thought that was a little extreme. It takes me about 10 minutes to visually see my place of employment, and then another ten minutes to actually get there.

Easy 6 01-18-2010 07:32 PM
About 30-45 seconds, no sh*t... its awesome, closest i've ever been to my job.

Big snow last night? damn!... better give myself an extra minute or two.

MIAdragon 01-18-2010 07:47 PM
about 5 feet.

BigMeatballDave 01-18-2010 07:49 PM
42 miles round trip.

Between 0-5 minutes depending on if I am working from home or going into the office which is 2 miles away.
