Even that has taken a big hit with the internet. So much amateur stuff that the pros are going broke. Read a piece on that very subject just a couple of weeks ago.

That's why you have to market it as amateur.
Just use a cell phone camera or something.

Only issue I have is a major train track that manages to catch me about twice a week for 5 to 15 minutes.
My longest commute was from Saint Louis to Chicago, which I did for over a year. Yep, fly up on Monday, fly back on Friday. After a while, I didn't know if my "home" was my hotel room in Chicago ...... or my house in Saint Louis.

I went from a 1.5hr commute (75 miles), to working from home, to 2.5hr commute(75 miles), to 3 minutes (10 blocks), to 25 minutes (27 miles).

Hi ya, Ashikabi,

Did you happen to see the movie "Hacksaw Ridge" .. ??

Have you seen pictures of Desmond Doss .. ??

He was hardly the Seal Team or Special Forces "type" ....... but, he made quite a valuable contribution to the war effort.

I bought a house 2 blocks from the Siemens Automotive plant I worked at and they promptly closed down. Never been under a 45 minute drive since then.

Occasionally I fly 20+ hours to the Middle East and stay for a few months; does that count as a long commute?
