True. There is very little public transportation in towns like mine. Sometimes I think I wish there were busses, and subways...but growing up around here you get used to going where you want, when you want, on your own schedule. I imagine there are pros and cons, either way.

For the last few years I've been working from home one or two days a week. In my next job I'll be only going to the office one or two days a week and otherwise working from home. The distance is twice as far, though, so weekly fuel consumption and commute time will be about the same.

My husband is working something like this out with his employer, too. Right now, he has a hellish commute and the gas is going to kill us sooner than later. It appears employers are starting to warm up to more work from home time. I hope this trend continues.

HLJ, we considered the bus option, too, but it is similar to yours...2 hours on the bus and changing 3 times plus getting him to the bus stop. Lightrail should be here in a couple of years I think, but until then, the route is a little convoluted.

Is there a "Working from Home" (or similar) thread? If not, maybe I'll start one. (Actually, I think a whole "Working from Home" forum could be useful, if there are many here that are telecommuting.)

I haven't seen one. Go for it.

My commute home.
Could have been better. Of course as soon as I pick up a camera the world and his wife appears. Also it was very bright, which affected the picture quality.

That was fun! Thanks Sundae girl for showing us around :)

Absolutely charming!

I sometimes fantasize about living in a city. It would only work if I was single, though......so fuck that.

thanx for the walk, cherry, just the same. I likes it.

Here's my commute.

Married people don't live in cities?

Steve, there's a lot of lush green in your commute. This time of year, anyway.
