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’.

It’s All Better (I Hope)

When we got home tonight there was a mes­sage on the answer­ing machine that my car was ready. I called the sales­man back to let him know that tonight and tomor­row was bad for me and I would come get it on Fri­day after­noon. Besides the con­vince fac­tor I want to get a good look at the repair in the day­light. When I asked what was done the reply was, “A lit­tle touch up and a lot of buffing.”

My UPS deliv­ery of the grill, accord­ing to their web site, is exactly where it was yes­ter­day at this time. There are a cou­ple of pos­si­bil­i­ties; 1) they esti­mated a deliv­ery of Decem­ber 5th, and there is no sense deliv­er­ing until then. Or 2) it is lost in the ware­house. Or maybe 3) it is on a truck to be deliv­ered tomor­row and the web site hasn’t been updated yet. I’ll call their 800 num­ber tomor­row and see what is what.
