I've always found that listening to people talking helps the time go by faster. Either NPR, or some books on tape. Cruise control can help insofar as it allows you to pay more attention to the road and less to how fast you're going. It's good to use in those stretches where there's not so much traffic. If there's a lot of traffic, I wouldn't use it. What's most important is that you're comfortable. If you're uncomfortable, you'll start making bad decisions.

"The Germans believe that power must reveal itself in hardness and cruelty and then submit themselves gladly and with admiration[...]. They do not believe readily that there is power in meekness and calm."
