It must be awful to have to drive far to get places. 10 minutes to work, Target, or Kroger for me. Gym is 15 and that really annoys the hell out of me. I understand in big cities and in rural areas, people often must travel an hour each way to and from work. Insanity!
When I was working in the Financial District in Manhattan my commute was generally an hour an 20 minutes or so, now I'm usually at work in 30 minutes or so (can be less than 20 without traffic, but that doesn't happen often). Often times I would rather my old commute (though now I would likely move to Queens or Brooklyn if I worked in Manhattan again)
