When I first moved to Maine, I commuted from Bangor to Castine. It's a roughly 1-hour drive. Unless it snows. Or it was windy the night before and a tree fell on the highway. Or there were a lot of logging trucks on the road. I did this drive or four years. Yes, it is too long. Of course, the drive is beautiful, and I got through a crazy amount of audiobooks and podcasts. But I commute 20 minutes to Orono now, and can work from home pretty much whenever I want. Having all that commuting time back to be home with my wife and our newborn is worth it, and if I could do anything differently in my life it would be to arrange things so I didn't have to spend all that time just driving.
