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. :)

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.
