Saturday, February 28, 2009.  I’d written earlier in my post Why are Mapquest & Google directions so out of the way ? about how Mapquest and Google sometimes give you directions that take you way off course.  I said I prefer Mapquest because it gives you the option to “Avoid” a particular route and offers alternative routes.   I remarked, “Wouldn’t it be nice if every choice we didn’t like had an “Avoid” button?”  I immediately remembered it does! We each do have a personal “Avoid” switch.  It’s our focus.  Our “Avoid” switch is our choice of focus.
