One of the things I love about where I live is that there are back roads. The straightforward way to get from a to b when it's the highway is generally only the way I take when there's snow or ice, or a chance of flooding. Otherwise there are generally back ways, sometimes several different choices making it easy and interesting to change routes for variety. Saving a minute or two doesn't come close to the appeal in cutting the boredom off taking the same route each time. Then again we don't have what you'd call traffic jams, except if you're unlucky enough to be waiting for a train so the road's opened up again. :) >>>The revelation is that I'm starting to understand that many non-programmer >>>_don't_ generally evaluate their car trips like this. I had this sort of conversation with a search engine guy in Europe a few years ago. We both sort of thought the same way... optimizing our actions. Even though he wasn't a programmer. I guess just the fact of making your living working with computers is enough.
