Good morning all.
My regular route to work has had to change due to road construction. In Oklahoma most everything is laid out in a grid. North, east, south or west are the directions you can travel. Only a few highways and interstates go the other directions. If you need to go southwest you go a mile south and a mile west, or a mile west then a mile south. Since you are driving straight lines it does not much matter which way you go around the square mile. The only difference is where the lights or traffic is heavy. It has been interesting going different ways to verify what I felt to be true. My old route had the fewest lights and was the easiest route. If you are real lucky and hit all the lights on the other routs things are fast. Most of the time I seem to hit a red light. My favorite route home has just one light.
It is a pretty easy 8 mile commute.
