My dad used to commute from Algiers to Empire. About 50 to 60 minutes. He learned Spanish.
Seriously. He had a co-worker from Honduras so he could practice at work. His Spanish is still decent and it was learned in commutes.
I just don’t have that kind of discipline. He’s not proud.
your people from Algiers???
From? No.
Algiers? Sort of.
My parents lived in English Turn for 20 years but I was already out of college.
@Oye is so tight lipped and cryptic. One of these days he's going to open up and let us know how he really feels about something.
the year i spent driving from college station on 6 to 290 still gives me headaches.
You didn't mention, or I missed it, are you driving or riding mass transit?
I did the mass transit (bus and train) for a commute that took 1.5 -2 hours each way. I had a little 10" tablet for web surfing and getting some work (e-mails) done. Had my laptop and wi-fi if I had to dig into a problem. I usually had music going from my phone. Tried the audio books, but couldn't get into it.
Get a good water bottle and keep some snacks handy.
So it looks like I will be commuting (45 minutes or so each way) starting in August
Looking for ‘life hacks’ - gadgets, healthy snacks, apps, et al - that you’ve discovered that help your commutes
I’m slightly concerned bc I do get some hamstring and lower back issues when I sit too long (I actually used to site on tennis balls to help stretch my hamstring on long drives
Thanks in advance
good stuffYou should probably check out pints with Aquinas podcast. Get a good water bottle for drinking and peeing. (Not kidding). Keep some nuts or granola bars around for emergency. Avoid developing a candy habit out of boredom. Check your tire pressure regularly and make sure your spare is in good shape.
I have this phone holder that mounts on your dash easily, and i really like it:
Amazon product ASIN B07613LFQN

Also, I’ve seen a few people mention Waze, and i like Waze for longer road trips.. but for drives under say, 1 hour, I prefer Google Maps.. i find that Waze doesnt change course or recalculate as quickly ..also in my experience i get a lot of pop up ads with Waze.. of course, your mileage may vary (pun intended)
