Re: Hey na, hey na, my power\'s back!
Yep 150 miles round trip. Takes 1h10m on a good day. 1h40m on a normal day. And too damn many hours to count on a bad day
It gives car pooling a new level of importance. If I drop the wife off down town, we use her car @30>35mpg. If I ditch the grand tour of down town Baltimore and drive myself then I have a choice of the K1500 @14>16mpg or the SS at about 20mpg
Most of the trip is on US 70 and usually at 80 to 90 mph.(Very cool in the SS ) It's the back roads from 70 to my home that are the worst part of the trip. The traffic in Baltimore is usually not that bad.

Re: Hey na, hey na, my power\'s back!
I can sympathise, Thermo. I used to commute 60+60 miles a day, and it sucked. Well, it did when I was driving. Then I got involved in a car pool and that improved things slightly, I could sit in the back get 2 hours a day se4 time on my laptop=-)
Or sleep... Sleep was good.

Re: Hey na, hey na, my power\'s back!
Man if there was ever an excuse to find a job closer to home, this would be it. Oh wait, I lived in Vancouver and worked in Seattle for a while. That was a 2.5 hour drive on the best of days, and I shudder to recall the worse of days.

Re: Hey na, hey na, my power\'s back!
Same here. If my turns dont show up, it may be do to the fact that I have no power. I posted in all of my PBW game forums too.
My job is open but no one is here except some of the MIS staff. I think I'll cut for home about 11am, it a 75 mile trip and unfortunatly it will be right back into the path of the storm.

Inform you of what? You know where the place you will be working at is located before you get the job...
