    I had to drive out to Vernal and back today

    I had to attend a hearing that the other guy didn't even show up for. The $1,000 bench warrant I got for him helped alleviate the pain in my backside though.
    Not that, sickos.

    I love that type of assignment. Easy billing and a good reason to travel to some place that you'd ordinarily never waste a day going to.
    Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

      You should have headed up the road a bit, slipped on the waders, and got some fly fishing done on the green while you were in the neighborhood.

      Edit: And, of course, billed for it.

        I'm with falafel. I love driving out of the area for a hearing. It is hard to go anywhere where the drive isn't pretty and my client is paying me to roll up the road. Only thing better is hiking up a mountain to look at a right of way to eye ball it.

          Don't get me wrong, it was good--my butt just isn't made to plant itself in a car for six hours a day. I also need to remember to get a book on tape...or an M3. Next time I go, I'll also be sure to ask what places or restaurants I should check out (Vernal has to have some good food, right?). I can always bill for my time at lunch if I make it a "working" lunch.

          One thing I did notice was that Roosevelt, or one of those other small towns I drove through, had a working drive-in theater. I've never been to one, and I think it would be cool to go to one someday.

            You know that there is one on Redwood and about 3700 s in salt lake, right?

              I drove to NE Montana and back last week in 2 days. 2000 miles. But I had several recorded books AND an M5.

                There is a much better one in Riverdale.

                  I didn't know they showed movies at the swap meet.

                    I didn't realize there were any still in operation. It's good to know there's one closer by.

                    Now that's something I would have enjoyed.
