attack of the giant amoeba

I sat in on the beginning of a Lake Users' Group this morning, to hear discussion
of boat storage and launch-wake issues, but left early to get to work. It was
clear by then that Rudder and AussieCoach were bringing up all the issues I wanted
discussed, so they didn't need me. My favorite part of the meeting was when one
person who works for the city and has only recently evolved past the amoeba stage,
brain-cell-wise, said, "We can't make a decision when we don't have all the
facts!" Rudder snapped back with, "Sure you can -- we do it at work all the time!"
while I quoted my Stats professor: "Statistics is decision making in a climate of
uncertainty." Not that our knife-edged logic made any dent on Amoebawoman, of
course; she just congealed around the cut and oozed on.
