Random Thoughts

I love that my favorite restaurants continue to be better and better every time.

I hate Shake Shack's new non-crinkle fries.  Not to mention the Shack burgers, once so good that I wondered why New Yorkers ever wanted In'n Out, are now so salty and sloppy that I forget why I used to like them so much.

I hate that Yahoo email keeps getting worse and worse with each update, trying to copy Google.  Either copy well or don't bother.
