You have a great attitude about your drive, it sounds fun. I know people who drive far less to work and grumble about it. Then again, they live in New Jersey where a 20-minute commute in PA averages 45 in Jersey. Ouch!

On my long commute into Jersey I make sure to take along great music, and coffee always, especially for the drive back in the evening.

Thanks!
Hi there Jimmy- yes, no riding for me today!!! It is like 3 friggin degrees out. Supposed to be up near mid 50"s on Tuesday or Wednesday- hoping to take a little ride then. The roads are one of the reasons I love it up here- I grew up in Westchester (New York, that is) and it is very congested... it is very easy to get around up here... Maybe I will see you out and about on the roads...

Cows, and practically every other milk-producing mammal, have hormones. Extremely small amounts are given to cows to help them to keep producing milk after their calves have been weaned. This has never been proven to be harmful to anyone who consumes milk.

Wow, I see oil prices are going to hit $100 a barrel. And they say gas is going to hit $4.00 soon. BTW, I see a lot more folks taking the train into New Jersey and New York since gas prices are climbing and we are having a cold winter.

Thank Cheney, Bush, and the neocons the next time you fill up the tank. The oil barons are taking us to the cleaners and laughing all the way to the bank.

Ron Paul in 2008! We need a change.

I agree MR. Krabs, greedy politicans and there must be a cheaper way of heating and running cars than what we are doing now.

I know Bush isn't the greatest president, but I don't think he's all to blame on the current oil prices going up. If you remember when Kerry was running for President, he wanted to impose a gas tax. So, if he was in office we would be paying 50 cents more for gas than we are now.
