Normally about an hour...depends on traffic. Sometimes longer, rarely shorter.

I used to be able to make it in about 1.5-2 minutes, but there was a landslide and my shortcut got taken out.

Now, about 3-4 minutes. About 1/4 mile as the crow files but more like a 1/2 mile drive.

on average about 35-45 mins, depends on traffice and how fast I feel like driving.

10 minutes on a normal leisurely day, 7-8 minutes if i'm late and speed like a mofo.

About 50 milliseconds? However long it takes Outlook Express to open.
Telecommuting rules.

But wait till you do it for 5-10 years straight... don't think you'd be singing the same tune.

20-25 minutes to go 4 miles. I pass like 6 schools on the way, and those kids sure like to jaywalk at the worst possible times.

My old commute was 15 minutes for about 7 miles.
