Clay Thompson's Try Not to Worry About It
A Final Collection of Valley 101 Columns

by Clay Thompson

Description
Clay entertained his readers for almost 20 years, answering any and all questions sent in to the Arizona Republic. Initially intended to answer questions specific to Arizona, the Valley 101 column quickly grew beyond this boundary as Clay started taking on all subjects. Snarky retorts to his readers, and sometimes he actually got around to answering the question at hand. Almost as often, Clay answered it correctly. This is the fourth book of his columns. We lost Clay to the great beyond in April of 2018, but his Q&A writings live on. If you want to be the "smartest" person in the room, you need to read this book!

Valley 101 Sports Water Bottle

by Clay Thompson

Description
World-class runner Jim Fixx always recommended drinking water during a training run. But he died in 1984, so now Clay Thompson feels it is his duty to carry the torch for this cause. Drinking water, not the running part. The cool thing about these water bottles is that the valve holds in the water until you squeeze the bottle, so no spilling while carrying the thing upside down.
