I have a convention this week, which takes me to Monterey so I can continue with my ongoing legal education. So far, I've learned the following:
1. Tailgating a big rig is about the dumbest thing you can do in a small car with a soft hood.
2. The average consumer of gasoline is stupid. At one stop, there were two gas stations. One offered unleaded gas, 87 octane, for $2.37 per gallon. The other one, right across the street, was pricing the same fuel for $2.60 per gallon. Both had roughly the same number of customers. Both were nationally known chains. Unless the $2.60 a gallon price included a woman who would love you long time, there was no reason in the world to spend the extra four bucks to fill up. Yet, half of the motorists paid the extra money.
3. My kids want to know the name for those little red lights at the top of radio towers, and all I know to call them is "the little red light."
4. A trip to Monterey is a great anniversary present, but less so if you disappear for six hours a day to go to a convention.
5. There are remarkably few attorneys who see the irony in leaving a mandatory legal ethics class early.
If I learn anything else, I'll pass it on.
