Being in rural areas you probably have a better sense of travel time. Chicago, you just never know what to expect. Had a date a few weeks ago 8 miles from home, took me almost 45 minutes.

This is somewhat travel related. I had a JV/V boys night tonight about 40 miles from home. I get ready to leave in time to pick one partner up so we would be there about 45 minutes before tip off. I go to put my bag in the trunk, but my keyless entry remote won't open the trunk, so I have to use the key. I get in to start the car.....nothing. I realize that I had left the parking lights on for a few hours and the battery was drained. Luckily my neighbor across the street was home and he gave me a jump. We still got there 35 minutes before the start, but I was about to have a heart attack when I turned the key and heard absolutely nothing.
