Commute one-way is 22 miles...what used to take 40 minutes now takes over an hour due to TXDOT performing major construction on EVERY conceivable expressway and secondary roads all over the Metroplex!
Heck, even the street outside my neighborhood is getting widened, so I see cones the minute I pull out of the driveway!
Been doing this for 12 years now. I cope by getting up early and performing therapeutical and de-stressing tasks prior to seizing the day.
A big plus (believe it or not) is that the wifey works in the same building...so only one vehicle has to leave the house on a daily basis...
