The road I take once I get off the freeway to get to Cooltown(Coolidge) goes between these two hills and in the evening its beautiful. No buildings or anything just desert and the good ole AZ sunset!


Wow, you work in Coolidge? I work in Sacaton. We should have lunch sometime.

My commute is approx 25 miles and it takes about 25-30 minutes each way. I don't mind. I'm trying to arrange a carpool but it hasn't panned out.


I live in Coolidge and work in Phoenix. Yes we should still hang out. Where do you work in Sac?



Oh I see. I work in the Governance Center for the Gila River Indian Community. I'm the Managing Editor for their tribal newspaper. It's pretty sweet.

The last couple months? From the bed to the couch. It is awesome! The downside is I am totally poor.

My thesis is called the "Black-Emperor-Says Theory" and holds that any any Phoenix-area indie rock festival there is a 100 percent probability that Emperors of Japan, Black Carl, and/or What Laura Says will be on the bill.

i drive about 4-5 miles, i think.

202 all the way there. I'd kinda like to start riding the train, but with riding my bike to and from the stops, it would prolly double my commute time... would i really save money, though? What is it, 3 bux per day to ride? I don't know what it is since they just increased the fairs. Who uses the train and do they save money over driving if they are going under 10 miles or so?

Mine's about 6 miles.
If they would let me wear shorts or had a shower I could use I would probably ride my bike once in a while.
It takes about 12 minutes to get to work and 25 to get home.

I'm about 1 mile to 1.5 miles away from work. 5 minute car ride 15-20 minute walk. If I have to drop the kid off at school I have to add 10 mintues to the drive. RV rides his bike to work takes about an hour or 30 mintues on the train & bike. I think it's 20 miles?

Takes me about 50 minutes when I have to walk. The bus ride from Crossroads is pretty quick when I can catch it

I live 6 miles from work. When its not hot I ride my bike. That takes 20 minutes if I feel good, and 30 minutes if I am taking it easy. I try adjust my departure time accordingly. Other than that I car pool. Especially since me and the Mrs. have one car. Its working out right now for the time being.

I like otter pops. I play bass in Eris Valley. I don't care for work too much also.
