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’.

The first 48 are from a visit to fam­ily and friends on a week long “vaca­tion” in April. We flew into DC and rented a car. Took the mon­u­ment tour, drove BMWs before mak­ing our way to CT, then NJ before return­ing to Dulles to fly home. The last 24 are from a return trip for the 4th of July week for a fam­ily funeral. We drove up and back in the Miata.

Travels With Brian

The idea for this gallery was ger­mi­nated way back in 1989 when we first moved here. Donna was out on the assem­bly line talk­ing with one of the work­ers there and casu­ally asked what she had done over the week­end. When the response came back as, I went to Den­mark, Donna thought, WOW. But she kind of doubted it, as that seemed a long way to go for just a week­end. It wasn’t until later that day that one of Donna’s office coun­ter­parts explained that the woman had prob­a­bly meant the city of Den­mark, SC.
