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’.

Well, its hap­pened again. Chang­ing the acces­sory belts on the Emperor has resulted in belts squeal­ing at a high pitched 123,00Hz. This time it is both belts. Yes­ter­day evening when we were com­ing back from the mall one of them just started squeal­ing for no appar­ent rea­son. It lasted for about a minute before I pushed in the clutch and it shut up.

Today on the way home from work, for a test, I hit the A/C and was greeted with a nice squeal, later tonight I got a squeal when mak­ing a tight turn, so the sec­ond belt that runs the power steer­ing pump is a bit loose too.

As I pulled into the dri­ve­way this after­noon the odome­ter hit the 123,000 mile mark.

Guess we are going back to see Steve on Monday.

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