Each decision you make is one more opportunity for you to screw up. Casinos work on this principle, providing a very high rate of decisions, creating more and more chances for you to give them your money.
It also works in driving. The more you have to think during your commute, and the more decisions you must make, the higher the probability that you will somehow screw up royally. The drive through Route One does keep me awake, though rather irritable.
I think I can pare the Atlantic City Expressway route to about an hour and fifteen minutes if getting out of the city is not too bad, and if I were to speed, which would be wrong. As long as I don’t fall asleep on the way.
Coming here to Atlantic City gave me two opportunities to blow it that I did not pass up. On I-676, I exited towards the Ben Franklin Parkway, rather than the Ben Franklin Bridge. On the way to the AC expressway, I exited to eat at a no-longer-existing (I suppose) Friendly’s, then wandered around before getting back onto I-42.
US-1 S to BFB would probably be jammed during rush hour, so I need to ask someone a better route.
