Yeah , I used to commute a few days a week from New Haven to New Paltz , which takes about 2 hours . Danbury was usually around 45 minutes , but that ' s also where all the traffic would hit , between exits 2 and 7 are the main slowdowns . If you ' re working on the east side of Danbury , and would be commuting before or after rush hour it would probably be a solid 40 minutes each way . Stock up on podcasts . <| sep |> I mean if you listen to a lot of different music , you will sooner or later want to know how Radiohead sound like . Most people heard of them If you like them you will buy their albums . If you don ' t , you move on . There is no need to introduce everyone you meet to Radiohead . <| sep |> That won ' t happen .
