Back when I was a kid growing up in Pittsburgh, I remember a blue neon sign across the Allegheny River from the downtown. Mostly I remember it from winters, because that was when it would already be dark when mom and I were on the bus home after one of her shopping expeditions. I don’t think it is there anymore, what with all the Northside development that has come to pass over the years, but it was a series of circled W’s: the Westinghouse emblem. Now Westinghouse was a local Pittsburgh company and absolutely anyone who grew up there knows “You can be sure if it’s Westinghouse”.
One can apply the same phrase to other companies. Many companies really do have products with features you can always depend on, always be sure of.
That is why I was not terribly surprised while I was having difficulties posting stories to blogspot all day long and kept seeing this message:

Yes, you really can be sure of some things in this life.
