Captain Cranky's Quick Hits:

- How come all the really good jobs always have people performing them that you KNOW you can do a better job than?  Sports coach, TV network programmer, game show host, etc. 

- How come you can buy cordless phones and cars that beep and tell you where they are at the push of a button, but I can't get that technology installed into the TV remote?

- How about we just make it officially the Christmas season year-round.  I used to think it was ridiculous for stores to have their holiday stuff out the day after Halloween, but now they don't even wait.  At Target, the Christmas stuff is one aisle over from the Halloween stuff.
