I do commute.  I just don't drive.  Buses can be very productive places...

My parents live in NH and, while Noelle and I lived with them, I was doing
that commute.  Pretty awful.

I've been through something similar.  My dad commutes from Windham to
Woburn every day, and he learned to drive in New Jersey; I usually
turn around facing the back when he drives the commute.  (He drives in an
old shitty car and thus couldn't care less what happens to it.  It
unfortunately shows.)

Actually, the first car accident I was involved was with Farrell driving
in his huge Chevrolet-thing in high school (do you remember that
incident?).  The second one was with my dad.  Only 2 in my life thus
far...
