It makes you come alive!!!!<br /></p>

[Don Stugots]

grad me some peppers would you? you are moving back to NY? where? we need to have a beer or two buddy.

i live 24 miles from my job site. it is an hour and a half by NYC subway in the morning (or 25 minute drive) and in the afternoon it is 2 hours by train plus a 15 min walk or an hour and a half drive.

oh well in that case. it is still gouche to ask. more so since some of my income cannot be declared to the MAN. due to the means at which it came into my possesion. or do you want to be an accessory after the fact?

yes i am kidding, please do not audit me or investigate.

About 40 miles. Thank goodness I'm driving away from the city, not to
it. I feel for those peeps fighting the traffic going to work.<br />

[Keotok]

<p>I'm a crossing guard. I live a quarter of a mile from work.&nbsp; I used to walk, but now drive (big van in my avatar!) because the cops are too lazy to do any work on their own, so I now have a thousand signs to put up around my xwalk.&nbsp; Sucks.</p><p><img width="250" height="180" border="0" src="http://www.pbp1.com/images/ps/jpg/p6232B.jpg" />&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

It's exactly 5.5 miles from my house to my job, with about 4.5 of them being on Route 80.&nbsp; If I leave my house before 7:15 AM I make it there in about nine minutes.&nbsp; If I leave one minute late it becomes a 30-40 minute commute.&nbsp; <br />
