Join me in welcoming the Cranky Old Guy back to the blog. Cranky Old Guy is a fine writer in his own right and can produce entertaining prose on just about any subject, yet all he ever seems to write about is the dumb stuff that happens all around him – supply is always robust. It turns out that the main thing that turns old guys into cranky old guys is, well, dumb shit … and so we have the latest diatribe by the gray-haired chapass.
