Sturgeon’s Law

Ninety per­cent of every­thing is crap.


Derived from a quote by sci­ence fic­tion author Theodore Stur­geon, who once said, “Sure, 90% of sci­ence fic­tion is crud. That’s because 90% of every­thing is crud.” Oddly, when Sturgeon’s Law is cited, the final word is almost invari­ably changed to ‘crap’.

Damn, I Hate Umbrellas

OK, I com­plained too much about the sun and now it is GONE. Cloudy and misty on the way to work, cloudy at lunch and cloudy and driz­zly on the way home. I had to run an errand at 7:00 PM, Weather.com said it was 67 degrees out. Cool, I drop the top and back out of the garage. To quote Frank Barone, “Holy Crap!” The fog was thick as pea soup. Ran the errand slowly and when I got back, left the car in the dri­ve­way and snapped some photos.

This morn­ing as I got into the car my wife asked, “Where is the umbrella?” I shrug, go back inside and grab one from the cor­ner. She pops the trunk and I hop down the 2 steps to floor level and as I go to put the bum­ber­shoot into the boot, I mis-judge the dis­tance and place a 3″ long scrape on the back of the car. Yikes! Took the top layer of paint right off! That is the sec­ond time I have done that with an umbrella. The first one is not so bad and is really only notice­able if you know where to look. Or the light is just right. This one is pretty obvi­ous, even to the most casual observer. Damn, I hate umbrellas.
