Heya everybody,
Not usually a toot-my-own-horn kind of guy, but I'm too excited to keep this to myself. So I just recently moved closer to work (but not too close, frankly I hate the city I work in). Went from 35.6 miles each way to 19.1
Nice big cost savings there right? Still a fairly decent length though. But wait, there's more!
A couple of people I work with drive past my on-ramp each day. Low and behold, there's a Park and Ride at that on-ramp too! So this past week I organized a car pool. Now, 19.1 miles each way has become 1.1 miles each way, aside from a day or two a week. Plus, I have people to talk to on my commute.
This week I'll get my lazy butt up earlier and walk to the p&r on the days I'm not driving, at least when the weather is nice. So, that'll essentially be going from driving 70 miles a day to driving 40 or 80 miles a
week.
I can't understand why more people don't do this. Frankly, I'm loving it
. Anyway, thought I'd share.
