Even canned food used to taste better. Even canned pumpkin. I try not to dwell on taste memories from my childhood in the '70s, it's so damned depressing.

I really wish we could go back to the amateur rule. Highly paid professionals seething because they didn't get what they think they deserve is just pathetic. And the whole thing is the reverse of all those heartwarming "local lads beat the pros in exhibition match" sports movies.
