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’.

A Day Late

Sat­ur­day dawned foggy with a threat of rain and even with a splotch of green on the radar bar­rel­ing down on our lit­tle town, Donna and I went for a walk in Hitch­cock Woods. In def­er­ence to the ver­dant pix­els on the Weather Chan­nel site we packed small umbrel­las and water­proof jack­ets. Halfway through the walk (of course it was halfway, momma didn’t raise no fools,…) it indeed started to lightly rain (…we know enough to come out of the rain), so we donned our jack­ets and turned around. For­tu­nately it has been a mild win­ter so hypother­mia did not set in.

The title of this post is “A Day Late” because I’m writ­ing it on Sun­day, but I will date it late on Sat­ur­day, because when we got home last night it was too late for me to think about doing it then. The mild win­ter came into play then as well because the clouds and fog kept the tem­per­a­ture in the upper 50’s even at eleven o’clock at night, so we got to drive home from Augusta after din­ner out with friends with top down.

Started up, went down, still down.
