short commute and no obligations in the evening…on the surface these things are desired by many and had by few.
My avg commute is about 3 miles round trip and if I include lunch driving mileage comes out to 5 miles a day. In 14 months of owning a brand new car in texas i put 26k miles on it. in the 21 months since i’ve been in tennessee my car is only up to 34k miles. One of the few positives financially of the move to tennnessee is that my car has gone up in value.In houston i averaged about 70 miles a day. The gas prices would have killed me this last year. But also gone with the commute was time to think, contemplate, listen to the radio and talk to friends around the country.
And another thing that disappeared with the move out east was my regular monday evening small group/support group.
Well i’m glad to say i have a small group (emphasis on small) again and the drive in to town to meet is commute enough to decompress and make some phone calls.
-that is all
