Question how far do you commute?

I live in the N. GA. mtns about 5 mi. from the N.C. line. It's 93 mi. from my driveway to the parking lot at work in Marietta G.A.
Anyone else have a long commute? How far?--Jack

I am not the only one awake.
I only drive 5 1/2 miles to work. Will change to 25 miles when my house is built this summer.

Commute revisited

I drive 45 miles each way three days weekly (the days I work at the college).

3 days a week - 6 miles each way.
2 days a week - 10 feet down the hall to the spare bedroom. Gotta love a VPN and a cable modem!

I get up at 3:30am and leave at 4 so I can get to work by 6:30, work till 4:00 pm get home about 6. I do that 6-7 days a week. Not looking for sympathy, I'm blessed to be able to work, make a living and live in a beautiful part of the world.--Jack

70 round trip. I feel like I am going into a battle zone when I get on the on-ramp.
