I guess I will not be driving the Vespa or the Sunchaser today. Nor will Toby get to go for a hike. This weather means a day spent largely inside, where I get to do work!
Just wait until later when I can tell you about the enforceability of a covenant not to compete in the great state of Utah! (I represent a software company that wants to hire a guy from a competitor but not get sued.) This is edge of your seat reading for my day. Don’t worry, I will not torture you with that particular legal adventure. At least in California, we banned noncompetes a long time ago because it is bad for the economy to restrict people’s ability to exploit their skills. Utah has restricted these deals, but this guy signed before the effective date of the law.
I also have billing to work on, which sucks, but is the only way to get paid for this shit. We were part of a team that won a huge jury trial in a case where the settlement demand was $25 million, so things are going ok.
Such is the thrilling life of a lawyer. How come they don’t show this part on Better Call Saul? (I was a criminal attorney for a while, and trust me, it is not as exciting as you think. You have to go see people in the jail a lot, and man, you never forget the smell of B.O., bad food, stale farts, and human misery.)
These wheel covers are cool, no?
I want to take the T Bird to get tires on it, but it has no air conditioning, and the driver’s side window does not roll down. It also seems silly to mount the new tires when the thing is completely out of alignment. It is as bad as the Sunchaser was when I got it, and I am going to the guy who got the Sunchaser sorted for me at the start.
I am thinking about just going and buying the tires today, then making an appointment for a wheel alignment, and have them take a look at suspension and brakes while they have it. My son will be sad because he is dying to take it out, but it is too damn hot to bake in that steel box.
Or I could just sit in the pool with a cold beer.
Yes, Phoenix, I know this ain’t nothin’, and I am a sissy.

We will be hitting the high 90's again in the Flathead, basically paralyzed by heat. Will go the the river tonight for some swimming.

This is among the many reasons I’d never live in Fresno or anywhere in the CV (maybe, for ridiculous money, I’d consider Redding to Chico, but that’s as far south as I’d go).
How long ago did this guy sign this thing? Those agreements have been toilet paper since at least the 90s. I’ve signed them there for companies based out of state (when in Utah), but they are absolutely unenforceable due to their RTW laws. Even the local people asking you to sign them know that and often mention it. I understood that CAs were enforceable until sometime relatively recently...
Phoenix doesn’t have the level of humidity nor ozone that you get there in Fresno, so they have no room to talk.

Not even going to hit 80 here in Ohio today. Sunny, high 70s, and not too humid. It’s my idea of a perfect summer day.

80 degree highs all weekend here in Wisconsin. As much as we get shit for our winter, our summers are to die for. I don’t even have central air at home or work. Just throw open the windows from May to September. And if you get into winter sports, most of the winter is pretty nice too.
All except March. March can go die. You think you are through with winter, but then February Part 2 shows up.

I want to know what 37% humidity feels like. I might crumble to pieces.

Well, My area is already at 109F with 22% humidity and it is only 11am. Not a lot of humidity, but “feels like” 112F at 11am is significantly warmer than most people are used to. Amd today is supposes to be a cooler day.
Take a gander at that high temp from yesterday. Yeah, 126F. Phoenix is a lot hotter than Fresno. Ozone and humidity don’t mean much when you’re at 115 for weeks at a time and surpassing 120 in certain areas. I’m looking forward to a cooler weekend of 108 highs. Also, while not as bad as Fresno, Phoenix has pretty bad ozone issues.

I’m so glad I no longer live in UT. That weather is brutal and the environment just eats cars alive.

Since you told me I could laugh, I shall. Read this in Nelson’s voice.
