Here's another good thing about not having to commute to your job: there can be a seven car wreck and logging trucks hanging off of a bridge on the one road that is a major artery for all communities around you, it can be shut down for 5 hours causing complete automotive chaos and long delays for drivers everywhere and you only find out about it after it is over. I could pretty easily walk to where this wreck happened, apparently traffic was snarling on every major road around my neighborhood and I never knew any of it was happening. Ahhhhhh.
