Immediacy...

I've been thinking a lot lately about the immediacy and "Get it now!" mentality of American culture. This is just a quick example that was frustrating to me...I was on the internet, looking for driving directions from san jose, CA to seattle, wa. I wanted a scenic route, etc but all the map services only had two options "quickest" or "shortest distance." What ever happened to a "Scenic Diversions" option or adding a few detours to the route?

Virginia and I took the "Long" way this weekend on a trip we took. It added an hour...but it was well worth it. People are in such a hurry all the time...yous till get there if you go slow...you just have to wake up early and see the sunrise.

Join AAA - they have much better service than an internet map site.
