I have a commute like that. Audio Books are soooo good. It’s lovely having someone to read to you!, Lowers the stress, I’m more forgiving of other drivers as I don’t want to miss anything while cursing the moron who……..so I don’t.
Is it bad I thought the bus one sounded like a good idea? Ride the bus to the general location, then drive your car the rest of the way. Maybe a train would make more sense?
I like to read, so audio books just annoy me, since they destroy my interpretation of tone and voice and such. Of course stuff like The Lord Of The Rings films does this to an even greater extent, but I still like them. I keep meaning to put language lessons in my car though (I like that Volkswagen commercial where they’re in the car so long they end up speaking Spanish).There is an AutoTrain! It’s just horrifically expensive.
Maybe you should move closer to your job? I’ve never understood the notion of trading away countless hours of your life for a long commute in exchange for a bigger house (especially if that house is in some banal suburban bedroom community in the middle of nowhere).

I was jazzed that I knew what he said when he was cut off in traffic: Bah-bo. It’s Korean for “idiot” or “stupid.”
