The Well-Linuxed Car

quoth Kurt Wall:

| This might be true, but it'd be a bear of a commute to Pittsburgh
| every day, although I suspect the traffic in Iowa would be pretty
| light.

which, geez, reminds me of when i moved to the northeast 25 years ago. i 
was working for gannett in westchester county, new york. apartments 
were sheer hell to find. so i ended up staying for a couple months at 
and commuting from pittsfield, massachusetts. three and a half hours 
each way. the worst was one night when i had a meeting to cover that by 
the time i had filed the story was way late, and an assignment at 9 the 
following morning. i got to within 20 miles of the house where i was 
staying when i realized that if i didn't turn around and head back 
*right now* i'd be late for my morning assignment.

and yeah, the traffic in iowa is light and the roads are really straight 
also.
