There's a big difference between a commute on public transportation and a commute in a car
Yeah, absolutely. A car commute would kill me. At least everyone's standing still for much of the train ride.
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesse, get rid of the shoes you should.
Ideally my commute would be 30 minutes and I could leave early enough to get a seat each way. I actually did not liking walking to work for the year and a half that I did it. No reading and I had to be too engaged what with the watching where I was going and stuff.

Yeah, yeah. Maybe I can continue the building give-away we've had going on for the past week or so. Someone must be clearing out their apartment, because one day it was a pile of books, one day it was video tapes, another day dishes, etc.

Provided we don't have problems (like drawbridges getting stuck in the upright position), the commuter train from Salem to Boston is faster than driving even if there wasn't rush hour to deal with. Rush hour on Route 128? You couldn't PAY me enough to make that drive every day.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I prefer the approx one hour train and bus-or-walk commute to the 25 minute drive commute. Probably because I can shut my brain off if I'm not driving.

Mine is a 15 minute walk to and from the train, a half hour on the train, and a 10 minute walk to and from work. Add in 5-10 minutes for waiting around and it's just about an hour each way, give or take a few minutes.
It used to be closer to an hour and a half, but both my work and I moved closer to the train on each end.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I always just assumed shoes lived by the door.
You mean they don't?
Even if you have a shoe rack to put them near on?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
You mean they don't?Mine do.
They're free range.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Yeah, my 45 minute commute is fine, but only because it's not in a car. I think driving that long each way every day would not be good for my sanity.
I'm actually looking forward to my commute next week when I go back to work because I'll finally be able to start listening to all my podcasts again!
