Welcome to Brad's online memory archives.

Two Roads Diverged On My Way Home

Of course there are a bunch of different ways to get to and from work, but at one particular point on my way home, I’ve had a hard time deciding which way to go. The one route seems shorter (distance-wise), but has lots of turns and narrow streets. The other route seems longer (distance-wise), but I can drive faster.

I’ve been meaning to time both routes to see which takes the least amount of time, because that’s what it’s really all about. A few days ago, I recorded the longer faster route. Last night, I finally remembered to record the shorter slower route.

Longer RouteShorter Route

The results? The faster time is the shorter route, but the time difference is negligible. I’m thinking it will depend on the stoplight at the point where these routes begin. If it’s red, I’ll turn, and if it’s green, I’ll go straight. Or maybe I’ll just always take the longer route where I can drive faster. I like driving fast.

    You’re really only 5 minutes from work now? I had no idea you could get there that quickly from your house! [‘Course, that’ll change… ;-)] Or do you have a hyperdrive option on your truck?

      My trip is about 25 minutes total. I started the timer where the two routes diverge. But having a hyperdrive in my truck? That sounds like a great idea.

    “….see which takes the least amount of time, because that’s what it’s really all about.” But… I thought that was the Hokey Pokey? I’m so confused.

    {P.S. I often will turn at a red light just to be "keeping going/moving"!! It's all psychological (^_^)}
