As you know my driveway is very long down 500' to the main road. My wife first question is when are we going back home. She does not like leaving the house. When you get to the bottom of the hill there is only two ways to go. Right will take you West to Lib country. And Left will keep you in Conservative country. So I always go left. 
Same here, a quarter mile to pavement, left or right, I generally go Right into our small town 10 miles away, but when she's with me, she always needs to go to the County seat in Placerville, 20 miles away.
I hate that damned drive, three mountains and a 2500' drop to the river and back up.. Eats the shit out of my tires, all twisty, windy shit.
