My sanity was much better upon arrival even though it added 45 minutes or so per leg. Cruising along out in the country with little to no traffic is much better than I-10 where there is constant construction. Plus you get to go thru China Grove and sing the Doobie Brothers song.

My commute is ~84 miles from downtown Houston straight down I10 (~3days/wk). That's why I get up at 4 in the morning and usually leave work between 11 and noon (meeting dependent) to come home. Door to door my drive is usually 1:06-1:08 in the morning, and in the afternoon 1:10 - 1:20. It could be worse.
