It all has to do with the direction you are going in Austin. On Tuesday after
work I went to visit a VW friend in a hospital in Waco. That 97 miles north
took the same amount of time as my normal 46 mile commute home. My commute to
work takes an hour and my drive home takes and extra 45 minutes and that is no
matter how I drive it.
