As a visitor to the DC area, I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Alford at his place of work. Our meeting was scheduled for the very early time of 7:30am, and while I was prepared for the horrific DC traffic, I was still somewhat frazzled by the time I completed my hour and thirty minute commute to his office. When I voiced my distaste for the long commute, Mr. Alford just smiled. Now I know why.

Erick Reed i knew you were not being rude, and me personally I couldn’t deal with any commute over 35mins a day. However, I did take a gm position at a retailer with a nice salary at 20 yrs old, and had to drive avg of 4-5hrs a day to get the lofty position i had beat out many with twice my experience for. Now i own a company and manage it successfully with the knowledge i gained in structured retail management training.. my point is, if your making money well beyond what ou could attain locally and providing a high quality of life for many people by sacrificing your own; this is winning.. to be selfless and support and provide is what drives a lot of men and women for that matter. Some people can be as happy in this commuting and grueling life as a naturalist would be in the forest on a self sustained property..

I'm very blessed to have one of the shortest commutes you could ask for.I have 2 stop signs, and one traffic light, that gives you a green light within seconds. It takes me about 2 minutes to get to work. It takes about 4 or 5 minutes to find a parking spot. I drive less than 3 thousand miles a year, so that equates to 1 oil change, usually right before the snow flies. I take my car on the Interstate every now & then, and drive about 80 mph for 20 minutes or so, just to get the fluids up to snuff, and get the moisture out of the exhaust system. I fill up once a month, whether I need or not, and I drive Crown Victoria. Hats off to this dedicated man that has true family values. You really have to admire him.

Wilbur Snaffel There's always walking. Of course, if the walk is along a busy street with no sidewalks that would kill that. Back in the 70s, I walked or rode my bike a mile to the train station, then a 40 minute train ride to the Chicago Loop. I walked very briskly; excellent exercise.
