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’.

Sunday Afternoon In The Driveway

Changed the oil and rotated the tires on the Emperor this after­noon. I used the Cal­i­for­nia Duster to remove the road fur from yesterday’s trip and washed all the win­dows. Sprayed a lit­tle Quick Detailer in places to get off some ran­dom gunk and treated the tires so they shine. Even vac­u­umed the interior.

As long as we are doing the Geor­gia State Park Chal­lenge we might as well do the the GA County and GA Delorme Chal­lenges as well. There are 42 State Park caches, 159 coun­ties and 59 map pages, but you really need 63 caches because this chal­lenge requires you to find a cache on the page inserts too. That would be 264 unique finds, so unlike in South Car­olina we are going to take the easy route, any cache found, can and will be, used towards mul­ti­ple Chal­lenges. So right now we have 4 State Parks, 19 coun­ties and 17 pages.

On yesterday’s trip there were sev­eral caches along our route we didn’t even try for because of time and moti­va­tional issues and there was one in par­tic­u­lar that I’m glad we didn’t get, Cache Across Amer­ica — Geor­gia. That’s right, a chal­lenge with the require­ment to find a cache in all 50 states and not just any cache, but the 50 picked out just for it.

Started up, went down, back up, still up.
