Once again I find myself at a bar trying to convince a friend that before 9/11 broke his brain, Toby Keith could write a damn good song.

It’s pretty low on the list of things tech is ruining but my very simple cribbage iOS app I’ve been playing for years has been replaced by a limited cartoonish version pushing in-app purchases and I hate it.

Maybe putting everything in locked displays so I have to track down the single overworked employee (who also has to manage the register) in order to get shampoo isn’t a great business model.
