Oh, the Choices...UPDATED!!! IF YOU ALREADY READ, READ AGAIN FOR NEW INFO!!!
Just for fun-
There are four ways I can take to and from work in the mornings. Here are the stats for each (I will update as I attempt to figure out which is the fastest and/or most economical): My origin point is the Wiles household in Columbia, and the destination is KRCG in New Bloomfield.
Route 1: Highway 63 /Hwy 54 (The Holts Summit Route)
Miles: 35.3
Approx. Driving Time: 32 minutes
Comments: Pretty standard highway route. Ashland makes for a good mid-point stop in case a snack attack or beverage need arises.
Route 2: Routes WW, J, and Old Hwy 54 (The Millersburg Route)
Miles: 29.5
Approx. Driving Time: Half hour, give or take.
Comments: Nice drive, good scenery of farms and country living. But if you get stuck behind a slow hay-chewing, tobaccy-spitting codger, like I did on Tuesday, passing opportunities are limited.
Route 3: Routes J, Y, and Hwy. 63 (The Guthrie/Ashland Route)
Miles: 28.7
Approx. Driving Time: Half hour, give or take
Comments: Same as Route 2- nice scenery. And same potential codger problem as Route 2.
Route 4: Hwy 54, I-70 (The Kingdom City Route)
Miles: 36.1
Approx. Driving Time: 33 minutes
Comments: Horrible roads. Hwy 54 between Fulton and New Bloomfield is very bumpy, lots of cracks and seams in the road. We won't ever be taking this route again.
Consensus- I'll probably make a habit of taking Route 1 (63 to 54) on the way, since I drive at night and I feel the potential to hit animals, debris, wandering farmers, etc., is smaller on major highways. And I'll probably alternate between Routes 2 and 3 on the way home in the mornings, since the distances and times are relatively similar. I'll just take whichever one I'm getting the vibe from on that particular day.
And Route 4 just sucks. Nice food/beverage options in Kingdom City- not worth the crappy roads, though.

and I have been to the Simpsonizer, but HOW do you get two people in it, and export it?
I'm off to go try it.
except, i don't get a background. They don't offer one to me.
