Yeah... the stress relief comes in the fact that nothing else during my workday is as hair-raising as the commute. I have to say though, I enjoy the challange and my reflexes have become razor-sharp as a result. For the most part, drivers in Middlesex county are okay so long as you can get their attention away from the cell phone and they can see you while perched atop their giant Escalades and Hummers. I have always liked Monroe though - still many roads that are country enough to be able to relax and enjoy the ride.
